Authorship provides academic recognition for substantial intellectual contributions to scholarly articles. Beyond recognition, authorship has become a form of currency within the academic community, acting as an indicator of academic output and thus influencing standing within an institution and the general medical community. It might further impact salary as well as job and research grant funding opportunities. Unfortunately, this emphasis on authorship has also been linked to instances of misconduct. We discuss our personal experience with editorial misconduct hoping to highlight the issue and thereby increase awareness and peer-to-peer control to reduce future authorship misconduct and to encourage others to speak up.
作者身份为学术文章做出重大智力贡献提供了学术认可。除了认可之外，作者身份在学术界已成为一种货币形式，作为学术产出的指标，从而影响机构内和整个医学界的地位。它可能进一步影响薪酬以及工作和研究资助机会。不幸的是，这种对作者身份的强调也与不当行为有关。我们讨论了我们个人在编辑不当行为方面的经历，希望能突出这个问题，从而提高认识，并进行同行之间的控制，以减少未来的作者不当行为，并鼓励其他人站出来。
