    Area of Science:

    • Medical Research Ethics
    • Academic Publishing

    Background:

    • Coauthorship in medical journals presents significant academic challenges.
    • A prevalent issue involves individuals listed as authors who do not meet authorship criteria, including clinical investigators, statisticians, and program directors.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To address the dishonest practice of undeserved authorship in medical research.
    • To advocate for a revised system of acknowledging contributions in academic publications.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of current authorship practices in medical journals.
    • Proposal for a new credit system differentiating authorship from other research roles.

    Main Results:

    • Current authorship norms allow unqualified individuals to receive author credit.

  • A proposed system distinguishes between authors and other research contributors like clinical investigators.

    • Conclusions:

    • A shift from the traditional concept of authorship to a more inclusive credit system is necessary.
    • Clinical investigators and other non-authorial contributors should be credited appropriately, separate from authorship, and allowed to document their specific roles in curricula vitae.
