Orphan papers and ghostwriting: the case against the ICMJE criterion of authorship

Abstract:
Although popular, I argue that the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) account of authorship is flawed. It inadvertently allows for practices that it was designed to prevent. In addition, it creates a new category of authorless papers--orphan papers. The original World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) criterion is preferable.
