The purpose of this article is to encourage and help inform active discussion of authorship policies among members of scientific societies. The article explains the history and rationale of the influential criteria for authorship developed by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors, examines questions about those criteria that emerge from authorship policies adopted by several U.S. medical schools, and summarizes the arguments for replacing authorship with the contributor-guarantor model. Finally, it concludes with a plea for scientific societies to play a prominent role in the ongoing debates about authorship and the alternatives as part of their efforts to encourage ethical conduct among their members. Whether or not scientific societies develop authorship policies of their own, they should undertake vigorous educational efforts to keep their new members adequately informed about the importance of authorship practices in ethical scientific research and publication.
本文的目的是鼓励并帮助促进科学协会成员之间就作者身份政策展开积极讨论。文章解释了医学期刊编辑国际委员会制定的具有影响力的作者身份标准的历史和基本原理，审视了美国几所医学院所采用的作者身份政策中出现的有关这些标准的问题，并总结了用贡献者-担保人模式取代作者身份的论点。最后，文章呼吁科学协会在关于作者身份及替代方案的持续辩论中发挥重要作用，这是它们鼓励成员秉持道德行为所做努力的一部分。无论科学协会是否制定自身的作者身份政策，它们都应大力开展教育工作，让新成员充分了解作者身份惯例在符合道德规范的科研与出版中的重要性。
