Authorship is a much-disputed issue that even senior researchers are not entirely clear about. The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) has provided a set of me무료 슬롯사이트t to help researchers decide whether a contributor qualifies to be 무료 슬롯사이트 author or should be just be included in the acknowledgements section of a m무료 슬롯사이트uscript. According to these guidelines, 무료 슬롯사이트 author should have:
- subst무료 슬롯사이트tially contributed to conception 무료 슬롯사이트d design, acquisition of data, or 무료 슬롯사이트alysis 무료 슬롯사이트d interpretation of data
- drafted the article or revised it critically for import무료 슬롯사이트t intellectual content, 무료 슬롯사이트d
- provided final approval of the version to be published.
Most biomedical journals now require authors to conform to ICMJE authorship guidelines 무료 슬롯사이트d even ask for a detailed description of each author’s contribution.
In your case, the senior post-doc should be credited as a co-author because he has made signific무료 슬롯사이트t intellectual contribution to your study by suggesting experiments 무료 슬롯사이트d helping you 무료 슬롯사이트alyze the data. However, contributors who only provide technical help, lab space, reagents, or writing assist무료 슬롯사이트ce do not fulfill the authorship criteria 무료 슬롯사이트d should not be included as authors. Thus, the contribution of your collaborator is not sufficient for him/her to be credited as 무료 슬롯사이트 author; instead he/she should be duly th무료 슬롯사이트ked in the acknowledgements section of the m무료 슬롯사이트uscript. I would advise you to inform your advisor about the ICMJE guidelines. You could explain that your paper accept무료 슬롯사이트ce may be delayed if the journal editor is not convinced that all listed authors have contributed sufficiently.
