JAMAThe Order of Authorship: Who's on First?
207 Citations1990Don Riesenberg
The authorship of medical articles is under scrutiny as never before and the responsibilities of authorship come into clearest focus when investigators decide on the order in which their names will be listed on their manuscript.
American Journal of RoentgenologyCoauthors' contributions to major papers published in the AJR: frequency of undeserved coauthorship.
181 Citations1996Richard M. Slone
Manuscripts were more likely to include an undeserved coauthor when the first author was a nontenured staff member than when he or she was tenured faculty and the most commonly cited reason that otherwise honest individuals accept undeserved authorship was academic promotion.
BMJGift authorship: a poisoned chalice?

Last week's revelations questioning the scientific validity of papers in the British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynaecology show how the gift can turn sour and should make researchers think hard about the responsibilities that come with putting their names on papers.

The main emphasis is on discussing key aspects of experimental design, and the idea of reporting results in terms of confidence intervals rather than P values, as well as on the more complex methodological issues.

37 Citations1996Joost P.H. Drenth
From the literature it becomes clear that for biomedical articles, the mean number of authors increased from 1.7 in 1960 to 3.1 in 1990, and there are indications that this trend is even greater in clinical medicine such that single authorship almost has disappeared.
Academic MedicinePatterns of authorship among chairmen of departments of medicine
34 Citations1993David J. Shulkin, James E. Goin +1 more
Factors such as length of chairmanship, frequency of publication, and academic position were found to influence patterns of authorship; for example, the 61 individuals who were chairmen for ten years or more had a significant decrease in the number of last-author articles, whereas the 172 individuals for fewer than ten years had asignificant increase.

It is suggested that delayed hypercalcaemia in the two patients of Hardman and colleagues is an unexpected event and on the basis of these two cases the authors recommend monitoring serum calcium concentration routinely in patients using calcipotriol.

26 Citations1993S. Mussurakis
The author inflation phenomenon in 12 leading radiological peer-reviewed journals is examined and the proposals made to standardize the requirements for authorship and to shift the emphasis from quantity of publication to quality are discussed.

An approach is suggested that may further simplify the problem and allow appointment and promotion committees to assess the relative contribution the candidate has made to each publication simply by looking it up.
