Research publications provide benefits to society by widely sharing new discoveries and providing new insights on long established beliefs. A research publication is the act of making a public assertion. This act carries social and ethical expectations and responsibilities. Moreover, Writing research papers is an essential activity for a scientific career and for the scientific process. Articles are important for academic recognition and authors have a responsibility to publish their results to further the scientific enterprise. However, the scientific process and scientific publication have changed significantly over the years. Research has become more competitive, complex and multidisciplinary, with collaborations between senior scientists, clinicians, undergraduate and graduate students, technicians, postdoctoral fellows, medical students and residents, statisticians, and other professionals both in national and international contexts. Each brings different expectations and experiences to issues such as who should be included as authors in a paper for publication and the value of their respective contributions. Problems can arise when scholars hold differing opinions regarding the criteria for authorship. Some hold the view that an author should vouch for the entire content of an article to which their name has been attached while others believe an author should only be accountable for their own portion of the work. In order to avoid a misunderstanding, it is important for research teams to discuss early on how credit and recognition will be shared once the work is completed. The process of responsible authorship begins before the writing of a manuscript, with good scientific study design and with researchers abiding by the ethical guidelines of their respective institutions regarding conflicts of interest and the humane treatment of animals and human subjects.
Individual journals have guidelines for authors, and the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) meets regularly to update the “Uniform Requirements for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals” (http://www.icmje.org/index.html) to address emerging issues.
