“…As a constructive recommendation for researchers from Central Asia but also applicable to scientists from other LMIC, I reiterate the plea made by several Asian-Pacific organizations on the need for academic institutions to raise ethical awareness and provide researchers with authorship guidance adapted to specific cultural settings and aimed to improve publication practices [5,6]. These institutions should play a proactive role in educating and strengthening the ethical culture of authors and reviewers via workshops, mentoring and rolemodeling rather than only relying on punitive actions such as rejection and retraction of papers [5,28,34].…”

“…This mistreat may reflect the unawareness of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) authorship criteria and related guidelines [4]. In this regard, the perceived reluctance of authors from the Asia-Pacific region to adhere to Western and international guidelines has been ascribed to cultural barriers at play [5,6]. Anyway, it seems that the lack of teaching and training in scientific integrity and good publication practices [5,6] along with the widespread corruption in many LMIC [7] further reinforces authorship abuses therein.…”

Although the variety of research malpractices in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) is similar to those documented in developed nations, authorship misuse and related issues appear to be more prevalent in the former. This article focuses on some authorship-related topics in LMIC, namely authorship disputes, excessive co-authorship and monetary incentives, authorship issues in student-mentor relationships, and authorship patterns in North-South collaborations. Universities and official bodies in LMIC must supervise the integrity of the whole research process, provide instructions on responsible research and authorship, set up the required postgraduate training programs, foster good role models in authorship, and designate an ombudsperson to advice and respond to complaints of researchers, especially students and junior faculty. Lastly, a recent framework that combines descriptive and normative elements and then uses proper metaphors to achieve an ethical definition of authorship useful in international settings is highlighted.

Objective: Patient and disease registries are important in evaluating real-world data to generate real-world evidence. However, determining authorship on registry-generated publications for multisite, industry-sponsored registries can be challenging. We sought to outline the guidance available in the literature that supports authorship decisions for publications stemming from industrysponsored registries, and identify common criteria for determining author order to aid authorship algorithm development.Research design and methods: A literature search was conducted in PubMed in March 2019 for publications (without date limits), supplemented by a Google search for relevant articles. Publications were assessed for relevance and factors for designing an authorship algorithm were identified. Results: Seventeen articles were identified, of which 10 were relevant for inclusion. Guidance identified for assigning authorship in general were: using a multicriteria approach (70%); a points system (50%); weighting assigned to each contribution (30%); discussion prior to manuscript development (10%); ranking of each criterion (10%); and other (30%). For the multicriteria approach, the number of criteria suggested per article ranged from 4 to 15. However, not all criteria suggested were relevant to industry-sponsored registries, e.g. data generation, writing, and/or the editorial process could have been facilitated by third parties. Eight criteria relevant to registry authorship were identified, including protocol design, patient enrollment, data interpretation, critical review, and steering committee participation. Conclusions: There is a need to design a well-defined authorship algorithm that fully meets the needs of industry-sponsored registries, which addresses inclusion as well as authorship order. Engaging a steering commitee could ensure all authors are aware of the authorship criteria prior to publication development and that all relevant criteria are met.
