When it comes to deciding who deserves authorship on a research paper and who will be added to the acknowledgement section, many uncertainties arise. Authorship is important because it gives credit to those who contributed to the new knowledge that was created, but it also implies responsibility and accountability. Who is an author? This video shows the criteria for authorship as stated by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (see links below). I also expand on authorship issues such as guest authorship, honorary and gift authorship, ghost authorship, authorship for sale, anonymous authorship, group authorship, and deceased and incapacitated authors, as elaborated on the website of the Council of Science Editors.
