Is it unethical to list someone as a co-author in a paper?

There is no universal standard. You must ask your advisor in advance what her coauthorship policy is. In theoretical computer science (and mathematics), it is generally considered unethical to list someone as a co-author who has not made a novel and significant intellectual contribution to the paper.

Is the advisor of Your PhD a co-author?
