How do you determine who qualifies for authorship?
To determine who qualifies for authorship, it is essential to assess the contributions of each individual involved in the research project. Key factors to consider include:
- Intellectual contribution: Has the individual played a significant role in forming the research question, designing the study, or interpreting the results? - Writing and revising: Has the person contributed to drafting the manuscript or critically reviewing and revising it? - Approval and accountability: Has the individual reviewed and approved the final version of the manuscript, and are they willing to take responsibility for the accuracy and integrity of the work?
