"if a researcher creates the idea for a project and is not listed in the preferred author order position on resulting publications, is this considered to be research misconduct under federal policy? "

- No; instead it is a type of authorship dispute.

Explanation:

As per the given description, the researcher's misconduct(not listed the preferred author order/position) would not be categorized as the misconduct under federal policy rather it would be considered as the kind of authorship dispute. Authorship disputes are primarily associated to the order of the authors' order or their compositions which could be resolved through direct dialogue, peer panel, or mediation while 'a federal policy misconduct' pays whole emphasis to ensure the reliability of the work(not the order or composition). Thus, the answer is 'no' as it characterizes an authorship dispute.
