“…We sought to develop a plan that would be relatively equitable and transparent, allow for the free exchange of novel concepts among investigators, and maximize dissemination and use of the study data. We examined many models from other disciplines and incorporated aspects of these into our plan (7, 8). Among those we found especially helpful were the National Psychosis Research Framework (7) and a system developed by the CanChild Centre for Childhood Disability Research (8).…”

One attractive feature of the CanChild model was its organization of potential authors into a grid that incorporated interest, experience, and expertise.…”

Method for Establishing Authorship in a Multicenter Clinical Trial

et al. 2009

With the emergence of large multicenter trials over the past 20 years, the numbers of investigators involved and publications resulting from each study have grown exponentially. An efficient, fair, and effective way to establish authorship on study-related manuscripts could diminish conflict among the investigators and help ensure robust and timely dissemination of study results. This article describes a process developed by the investigators in the HF-ACTION (Heart Failure: A Controlled Trial Investigating Outcomes of Exercise Training) trial (ClinicalTrials.gov registration number: NCT00047437) to establish authorship of the manuscripts describing the baseline characteristics, study design, and trial outcomes in an equitable and transparent manner based on objective, quantifiable contributions to the study as a whole. The HF-ACTION investigators developed a scoring system that assigned points to investigators by using the criteria established for enrollment, adherence to the exercise program, data completion, committee service, and other trial efforts. The scoring system has been successfully implemented for baseline manuscripts and has allowed many investigators to participate in the HF-ACTION publication process.

We organize a statistician's potential scientific and intellectual contributions to a medical study into three types of activities relating to design, implementation and analysis. For each type, we describe high-level, mid-level and low-level contributions. Using this framework, we develop a point system to assess whether authorship is justified. Although we recommend discussion and resolution of authorship issues early in the course of any project, our system is especially useful when this has not been done.
