Our aim was to investigate if: (a) authors of Biochemia Medica meet authorship criteria given by International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), (b) authorship violations are more frequent in submissions containing some type of scientific misconduct.
Self-reported authorship contributions regarding the three ICMJE criteria were analysed for all submissions to Biochemia Medica (February 2013-April 2015) which were forwarded to peer-review. To test the differences in frequencies we used Chi-squared test. P<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
186 manuscripts were authored by 804 authors. All ICMJE criteria were met by 487/804 (61%) authors. The first and the last author met all the criteria more frequently than those authors in between (P<0.001). The degree to which ICMJE criteria was met for the first author did not differ between manuscripts authored by only one author and those authored by >1 author (P=0.859). In 9% of the manuscripts ICMJE criteria were not met by a single author. Authors of the 171/186 manuscripts declared that all persons qualify for authorship but only 49% of them satisfied all ICMJE criteria. Authors have failed to acknowledge contributors in 88/186 (47%) manuscripts; instead these contributors have been listed as authors without fulfilling ICMJE criteria. Authorship violation was not more common in 42 manuscripts with some type of scientific misconduct (P=0.135).
Large proportion of authors of the manuscripts submitted to Biochemia Medica do not fulfil ICMJE criteria. Violation of authorship criteria is not more common for manuscripts with some type of scientific misconduct.
我们的目的是调查：(a)《生物化学医学》的作者是否符合国际医学期刊编辑委员会（ICMJE）给出的作者资格标准，(b) 在包含某种科学不端行为的投稿中，作者资格违规情况是否更频繁。
对提交给《生物化学医学》（2013年2月 - 2015年4月）并进入同行评审的所有投稿，分析其关于ICMJE三项标准的自我报告的作者贡献。为检验频率差异，我们使用卡方检验。P<0.05被认为具有统计学意义。
186篇稿件由804位作者撰写。804位作者中的487位（61%）符合所有ICMJE标准。第一作者和最后作者比中间的作者更频繁地符合所有标准（P<0.001）。仅由一位作者撰写的稿件和由多位作者撰写的稿件中，第一作者符合ICMJE标准的程度没有差异（P = 0.859）。在9%的稿件中，没有一位作者符合ICMJE标准。186篇稿件中的171篇的作者宣称所有人都有资格成为作者，但其中只有49%满足所有ICMJE标准。在88/186（47%）篇稿件中，作者未对贡献者表示认可；相反，这些贡献者被列为作者却未满足ICMJE标准。在42篇存在某种科学不端行为的稿件中，作者资格违规情况并非更常见（P = 0.135）。
提交给《生物化学医学》的稿件中有很大比例的作者不符合ICMJE标准。对于存在某种科学不端行为的稿件，作者资格标准违规情况并非更常见。
