Large research teams and consortia present challenges for authorship. The number of disciplines involved in the research can further complicate approaches to manuscript development and leadership. The CHARM team, representing a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional genomics implementation study, participated in facilitated discussions inspired by team science methodologies. The discussions were centered on team members' past experiences with authorship and perspectives on authorship in a large research team context. Team members identified challenges and opportunities that were used to create guidelines and administrative tools to support manuscript development. The guidelines were organized by the three values of equity, inclusion, and efficiency and included eight principles. A visual dashboard was created to allow all team members to see who was leading or involved in each paper. Additional tools to promote equity, inclusion, and efficiency included providing standardized project management for each manuscript and making "concept sheets" for each manuscript accessible to all team members. The process used in CHARM can be used by other large research teams and consortia to equitably distribute lead authorship opportunities, foster coauthor inclusion, and efficiently work with large authorship groups.
大型研究团队和联盟在作者身份认定方面存在挑战。研究涉及的学科数量会使稿件撰写方法和领导方式进一步复杂化。CHARM团队代表一项多学科、多机构的基因组学实施研究，参与了受团队科学方法启发而开展的促进性讨论。这些讨论围绕团队成员过去在作者身份认定方面的经历以及在大型研究团队背景下对作者身份认定的看法展开。团队成员识别出了一些挑战和机遇，这些被用于制定支持稿件撰写的指南和管理工具。这些指南按照公平、包容和效率这三个价值观进行组织，包含八项原则。创建了一个可视化仪表板，以便所有团队成员了解每篇论文的负责人或参与人员。促进公平、包容和效率的其他工具包括为每篇稿件提供标准化项目管理，以及让所有团队成员都能获取每篇稿件的“概念表”。CHARM所采用的流程可供其他大型研究团队和联盟使用，以公平分配第一作者机会、促进共同作者参与，并高效地与大型作者群体合作。
