Over the years ethical issues have been raised regarding authorship of scientific literature. Research is mainly accomplished through teamwork, and publishing articles has a significant impact upon academic promotion and career path. Thus, concepts such as honorary authors, ghost authors, and equally contributing authors have been established. In order to maintain better regulation, authorship recommendation and policies have been developed such as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) guidelines. The senior researcher plays an important role in the process of publishing an article. While they may be eager to announce their findings, the senior researcher must first ensure that no falsification, fabrication or plagiarism has been committed, as well as address the sensitive subject of the correct order of authors on the paper. The senior researcher, along with the rest of the authors appearing on the paper, must also be accountable for the data reported in the article. In this editorial, we will review the topic of authorship and explore famous international incidents as well as our own experiences.
多年来，关于科学文献作者身份的伦理问题一直存在。研究主要通过团队合作完成，发表文章对学术晋升和职业发展有着重大影响。因此，诸如荣誉作者、幽灵作者和平等贡献作者等概念应运而生。为了更好地进行规范，已经制定了作者身份推荐和政策，如国际医学期刊编辑委员会（ICMJE）指南。资深研究人员在文章发表过程中起着重要作用。虽然他们可能急于公布研究结果，但资深研究人员必须首先确保没有伪造、编造或抄袭行为，同时还要处理论文作者正确排序这一敏感问题。资深研究人员以及论文上出现的其他作者，也必须对文章中报告的数据负责。在这篇社论中，我们将回顾作者身份这一主题，探讨著名的国际事件以及我们自己的经历。
