Abstract:
There are many factors in ethical considerations in publication of medical papers. Among the several publication misconducts, authorship abuse is one of the common problems. An author is considered to be a person who has made substantive intellectual contributions to a published study, and authorship continues to have important academic, social, and financial implications. Several committees have recommended criteria for authorship. We reviewed the consideration of authorship credits to understand the appropriate reporting of authors in medical papers.
