- 3:55we move on to the authors and their
- 3:57affiliations authors do carry lot of
- 4:00responsibilities
- 4:01a professional and ethical
- 4:03responsibility
- 4:04towards the conduct of your research as
- 4:06well as you also hold lot of
- 4:08responsibilities during the manuscript
- 4:10preparation
- 4:12and submission to the journal
- 4:14authorities
- 4:15the authors need to defend their paper
- 4:18they need to be solely taking the
- 4:19responsibility of the data and its
- 4:21interpretation
- 4:23and one need to basically remember
- 4:26what you mean
- 4:27by authorship
- 4:30we do consider the icmje recommendations
- 4:34for which one need to
- 4:36contribute intellectually
- 4:39in the study design
- 4:41acquisition of data
- 4:43analysis and interpretation of the data
- 4:46and the author need to also
- 4:48contribute for drafting the article
- 4:51or revising it critically for
- 4:52intellectual content
- 4:54not just a minor editing work
- 4:57and finally all the authors need to be
- 4:59present for the final approval of
- 5:00version that is to be considered for
- 5:03the journal authorities for publication
- 5:05these are certain elements that
- 5:07contribute to authorship again to
- 5:09mention
- 5:10a person should have done a significant
- 5:12intellectual contribution
- 5:14creative contribution and one has to get
- 5:17actively involved in development of
- 5:19methodologies
- 5:20data acquisition analysis and
- 5:22interpretation
- 5:23we do come across certain conditions
- 5:26wherein we do get a lot of support
- 5:29from
- 5:30various people who do not fulfill the
- 5:32criteria of authorship and these are the
- 5:34people who need to be acknowledged
- 5:37commonly we come across
- 5:39this broad category as people who do not
- 5:42fulfill the criteria for being an author
- 5:46being the head of the department
- 5:48a person one who has helped in
- 5:49collecting the data
- 5:51doing a basic technical analysis work
- 5:54the institution or organization which
- 5:56provides the laboratory space or
- 5:58instruments
- 6:00funding agencies
- 6:02clinicians who are involved in caring of
- 6:04patients
- 6:05individuals who are involved in
- 6:07collecting specimens
- 6:09and those who are engaged in routine
- 6:11technical work
- 6:13those who had helped in editing and
- 6:15minor assistance
- 6:17all these
- 6:18group of people they do not fulfill the
- 6:20criteria for being an author and in an
- 6:23ideal setup one need to define the
- 6:26authorship as a team
- 6:27one need to describe the contribution
- 6:30made by each and every author
- 6:31the sequence of authorship is basically
- 6:34a joint decision and one need to get
- 6:36approval from all before you submit your
- 6:39paper
- 6:40for a
- 6:41publishing authority
- 6:43in an ideal scenario the authorship has
- 6:45to be discussed before the study starts
- 6:48and it it should include only those who
- 6:51are involved in all parts of the
- 6:54criteria that i mentioned under icm je
- 6:56and the sequence of authorship need to
- 6:58be finalized
- 7:00one can arrive at a consensus
- 7:02the conflicts which arise out of
- 7:05authorship can be
- 7:06prevented or resolved
- 7:08and one need to have transparency
- 7:10throughout the conduct of the study as
- 7:13well as while drafting the article so
- 7:16define the authorship early use clear
- 7:18and transparent rules
- 7:20specify the contributions and one can
- 7:22also use departmental or institutional
- 7:25criterias do not give
- 7:28a gift authorship
- 7:29similarly do not accept
- 7:32to be a gift author
- 7:34do not let it to be one person decision
- 7:36when multiple authors are involved the
- 7:38primary author is one who gets involved
- 7:42in submission of the manuscript and will
- 7:44be available throughout the
- 7:46process of manuscript review
- 7:49he will be the sole person taking care
- 7:50of
- 7:51replying to the journal authorities
- 7:54and he informs
- 7:56all the authors on the study progress
- 7:59or the review progress
- 8:01and he understands
- 8:02the work that has been contributed by
- 8:05all the authors
- 8:06the secondary authors
- 8:08will defend the content and will also
- 8:10agree for the conclusions and the
- 8:12interpretation that is drawn the
- 8:14sequence of author the first author is a
- 8:16person one who makes
- 8:18a major contribution
- 8:20one would drafts the first
- 8:22version of the manuscript
- 8:25then the subsequent authorship depends
- 8:27on the work
- 8:29that they have contributed
- 8:31at times it may be based on the
- 8:32alphabetical order
- 8:33or it may be on turns
- 8:35whereas
- 8:36any author during their initial career
- 8:39would prefer to take up the first
- 8:40authorship or a second authorship but as
- 8:43they become a senior researcher with
- 8:45multiple publications so they would
- 8:47rather encourage their junior faculty
- 8:49members or researchers to
- 8:50come up so they may permit the junior
- 8:53research fellows to take up the
- 8:55first or second authorship and the
- 8:58senior researcher may take up the lost
- 9:00authorship
- 9:01all those individuals who do not fulfill
- 9:03the criteria of being an author
- 9:06need to be acknowledged under the
- 9:08acknowledgement section
- 9:10all those who have helped in the work
- 9:12at some stage
- 9:14even for the individuals whom you are
- 9:16going to
- 9:17include in acknowledgement section you
- 9:19need to get their written consent the
- 9:21classical examples for those who need to
- 9:23be acknowledged are those who provide a
- 9:26technical help
- 9:27the institution or organization which
- 9:29provides you the space equipment and
- 9:31infrastructure for conducting the study
- 9:34those who had helped you in writing
- 9:36assistance
- 9:38department heads for their support
- 9:41those who are involved in data
- 9:43collection
- 9:44and funding agencies for providing the
- 9:46fire the financial or material help
- 9:50statisticians those who are involved
- 9:53starting from the
- 9:55conception of the study
- 9:57involved in creating the study design
- 10:00data collection
- 10:01analysis and interpretation of data
- 10:05in that particular situation a
- 10:07statistician can be given a authorship
- 10:10if they are involved only in analysis
- 10:12part
- 10:13if they do not fulfill the other
- 10:15criterias they can be acknowledged
- 10:18coming on to the affiliation affiliation
- 10:20basically means the institute that each
- 10:22author belongs to
- 10:25the institute where the research was
- 10:26conducted
- 10:27if there is a change in
- 10:29the affiliation after the completion of
- 10:32study
- 10:33the new affiliation can be acknowledged
- 10:36and one need to provide the full postal
- 10:38address of each affiliation including
- 10:41the country name
- 10:43after
- 10:44this particular category we need we move
- 10:46on to the authors contribution
- 10:48wherein each and every author
- 10:51in what way they have contributed to the
- 10:53study conduct
- 10:54need to be put under the following

- 11:00study
- 11:01designing the study
- 11:03those who helped in data collection
- 11:05data analysis and interpretation
- 11:08drafting the article
- 11:10and those who are involved in critical
- 11:11revision of the article and finally all
- 11:14the authors need to be present to

- 11:18of the document which is going to be
- 11:19submitted for
- 11:21publication
- 11:22conflict of interest

- 11:29study
- 11:30during the process of data collection
- 11:32recruitment and even while analyzing the
- 11:35study results
- 11:36and while publication the conflicts can
- 11:39occur which can be either a potential
- 11:43conflict which may
- 11:45alter the study outcome
- 11:47when it comes to
- 11:49this manuscript submission
- 11:52authors must be truthful
- 11:53and they must declare if the article has
- 11:55been published
