Summary
Guideline development organizations describe common contributions like panel membership and evidence synthesis. However, many lack detailed authorship policies, impacting recognition for diverse contributions in clinical guidelines.
Area of Science:
- Health Policy
- Medical Informatics
- Knowledge Management
Background:
- Acknowledging contributions is vital for guideline development.
- Understanding how guideline-producing organizations define and recognize contributions is crucial.
Purpose of the Study:
- To describe the types of contributions to guideline development.
- To analyze authorship policies within guideline development guidance documents.
Main Methods:
- Descriptive summary of publicly available guidance documents from 133 guideline-producing organizations.
- Data abstraction on organizational characteristics, contribution types, and authorship policies.
Main Results:
- Four main contribution types identified: management, content expertise, technical expertise, and dissemination/implementation.
- Panel membership (99%), evidence synthesis (86%), and peer review (92%) were commonly reported contributions.
- Only 38% of organizations had authorship policies, with many lacking details on eligibility and exclusion criteria.
Conclusions:
- Guideline development guidance consistently details core contributions but often omits specifics on authorship.
- There's a need for clearer, more comprehensive authorship policies in guideline development.
