4. Authorship - 4.1. Responsibilities

Code-of-Conduct-final

DTU Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity 4.Authorship Authorship has important academic, social, and financial implications as it plays an im-portant part in the recognition and status of research and researchers. Fair attribution of authorship – and appropriate acknowledgement of contributions that do not meet the criteria for authorship – contributes to the transparency and credibility of re-search, and is thus a key requirement in upholding responsible conduct of research. Recommendation It is recommended that for all submitted papers, a co-author statement should be written prior to submission that describes the contribution of all co-authors. DEFINITIONS An author is anyone listed as an originator of a research publication. 4.1. Responsibilities i. Attribution of authorship should in general be based on criteria a-d adopted from the Vancouver guidelines1, and all individuals who meet these criteria should be recognised as authors: a. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work, or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work, and b. drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content, and c. final approval of the version to be published, and d. agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved. ii. In addition to being accountable for the parts of the work he or she has done, an author should be able to identify which co-authors are responsible for other spe-cific parts of the work. iii. The criteria for authorship should not be used to exclude persons who otherwise meet authorship criteria, and therefore persons who meet criterion ʽa’ should be given the opportunity to meet criteria b-d. iv. Authors have a right to decline authorship, e.g. if they disagree with (part of) the methodology or conclusions in the publication. However, substantial contribu-tions to the work should always be disclosed, e.g. as acknowledgements. 1 International Committee of Medical Journal Editors – Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing, and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, Updated December 2013.
