What are the standard criteria for authorship in Epidemiology?
In the field of Epidemiology, the criteria for authorship are generally aligned with the guidelines established by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). According to these guidelines, authorship should be based on the following four criteria:
1. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data. 2. Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content. 3. Final approval of the version to be published. 4. Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
