Get Authorship Indication Form - Research

The guidelines here are not as well defined as for authorship in general, Riesenberg and Lundberg[2] have made certain very important and simple suggestions to decide the sequence of authorship: The first author should be that person who contributed most to the work, including writing of the manuscript.

As mentioned above, the most common way authors are listed is by relative contribution. The author who most substantially worked on the draft article and the underlying research becomes the first author. The others are ranked in descending order of contribution.

1. Everyone who is listed as an author should have made a substantial, direct, intellectual contribution to the work. For example (in the case of a research report) they should have contributed to the conception, design, analysis and/or interpretation of data. Honorary or guest authorship is not acceptable.

A ghost author is a person who has made a substantial contribution to the research or writing of a manuscript but is not named as an author [2 4]. Those who make small contributions that would not qualify them as an author should be listed in the acknowledgements with the extent of their contribution clearly stated.

* By signing this form you agree a) for your name to added to/removed from the manuscript, b) to the new Author Contribution, Conflict of Interest and Acknowledgment statements and c) to the final author's list as listed in the form.

1 : the profession of writing. 2 : the source (such as the author) of a piece of writing, music, or art. 3 : the state or act of writing, creating, or causing.

The ICMJE recommends that authorship be based on the following 4 criteria: Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND. Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND.

To be named as an author on a research output is meritorious. Authorship signifies that an individual has made a significant contribution to the work and is accountable for it. It also carries significant value for a researcher. It is therefore important that authorship is attributed accurately and responsibly.

Authorship confers credit and has important academic, social, and financial implications. Authorship also implies responsibility and accountability for published work. ... The ICMJE has thus developed criteria for authorship that can be used by all journals, including those that distinguish authors from other contributors.
