“…However, regardless of authors' contribution in preparation of the submitted article, authors rated contributions included in ICMJE criteria for authorship as more important than non-ICMJE contributions, confirming our previous finding that ICMJE criteria are intuitive, and that they are perceived as important for authorship qualification regardless of participants knowledge and experience [12]. We also showed that authors identified as qualifying authors rated all contributions categories higher than those authors who were identified as non-qualifying authors.…”

BackgroundAttitudes towards authorship are connected with authors' research experience and with knowledge of authorship criteria of International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE). The objective of this study was to assess association between authors' perceived importance of contributions for authorship qualification and their participation in manuscripts submitted to a journal.MethodsAuthors (n = 1181) of 265 manuscripts submitted to the Croatian Medical Journal were asked to identify and rate their contribution in the preparation of the submitted manuscript (0 – none to 4 – full for 11 listed contributions) and the importance of these contributions as authorship qualifications (0 – none to 4 – full). They were randomly allocated into 3 groups: the first (n = 90 manuscripts, n = 404 authors) first received the contribution disclosure form and then contribution importance-rating questionnaire; the second (n = 88 manuscripts, n = 382 authors) first received the rating questionnaire and then the contribution disclosure form, and the third group (n = 87 manuscripts, n = 395 authors) received both questionnaires at the same time. We compared authors' perception of importance of contribution categories.Results1014 (85.9%) authors of 235 manuscripts responded. Authors who declared contribution to a specific category rated it as more important for authorship than those authors who did not contribute to the same category (P>0.005 for all contribution categories, Mann-Withney test). Authors qualifying for ICMJE authorship rated all contribution categories higher than non-qualifying authors. For all contributions, associations between perceived importance of contribution and actual author's contribution were statistically significant.ConclusionsAuthorship seems to be not a normative issue subjective to categorization into criteria, but also a very personal view of the importance and value of one's contributions.

“…Our respondents almost unanimously indicated that institutions should provide instruction and support on this issue. The effect of authorship instruction on the agreement of medical students with the ICMJE criteria was investigated by Hren et al ,24 who found that both groups given and not given instruction on authorship recognised the first two ICMJE criteria as important but only the group given authorship instruction considered the third criterion to be important (box 1). This finding is consistent with previous literature, where the third criterion was found to be the least important to researchers who were also largely unaware of the ICMJE authorship criteria 23.…”

A paradigm shift from the current system is needed, where enforcement of ethical authorship practices is shifted away from journal editors. Instruction on the topic should be provided to medical trainees throughout medical school and continued during further training. A process should also be outlined to resolve authorship disputes. These measures may encourage researchers to have an open discussion on the topic prior to the commencement of a research project, and to resolve authorship conflicts in a constructive manner. We also hope this paper encourages further work on the topic.

“…The literature is full of discussions about the issue at hand. Hren's study [7] on perceptions of authorship criteria by medical students, graduate students, doctors and medical teachers concluded that these populations believe an author is someone who has a single or multiple qualifying contributions such as writing the article, analyzing the data or developing the original idea.…”
