Orphan Papers and Ghostwriting: The Case against the ICMJE Criterion of Authorship

Accountability in Research 20 (2): 59-71 (2013)
  Copy   BIBTEX

Abstract

Although popular, I argue that the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) account of authorship is flawed. It inadvertently allows for practices that it was designed to prevent. In addition, it creates a new category of authorless papers—orphan papers. The original World Association of Medical Editors (WAME) criterion is preferable.
