9.2. Authorship
In any research collaboration, the contribution of an individual or members of a party can be
given a credit of authorship in any material planned for scientific dissemination. The consensus
for authorship and the sequence must be discussed and agreed upon prior to research
initiation.
The decision for the responsibility of authorship in publications should always be in accordance
with the requirement stipulated by journals as part of their instructions to authors. For example,
the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) has developed criteria for
authorship to distinguish and differentiate authors from contributors in issues related to
quantity and quality of contribution that qualify individual authorship in all journal publications.
According to ICMJE, an individual can be considered as an author if he/she has given
substantial contributions in terms of conceptual, design of the research, analysis, and data
interpretation whereby he/she has critically drafted/reviewed/revised the important intellectual
content and agree to be accountable for all aspects of the work where appropriate. For further
guidance, please visit http://www.icmje.org/ for clarification [28].
