CMAJ. 1996 Oct 1;155(7):897-8.
In this issue (see pages 877 to 882) Dr. H. Dele Davies and associates examine how a sample of pediatric department chairs and faculty deans' offices perceive the involvement of faculty members in medical research. Their findings point to the confusion that surrounds the question of authorship in collaborative research. Dr. Drummond Rennie, deputy editor of the Journal of the American Medical Association, has proposed that a complete and descriptive list of "contributors" replace author lists and acknowledgements. Slight modifications to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors guidelines on authorship retain the designation "author" and the use of acknowledgements but encourage the explicit description of each investigator's contribution. Researchers and editors should continue to explore ways to ensure that contributions to published research are clearly and honestly identified.
在本期（见第877至882页）中，H. 德勒·戴维斯博士及其同事研究了儿科系主任和学院院长办公室样本如何看待教职员工参与医学研究的情况。他们的研究结果指出了合作研究中围绕作者身份问题的混乱。《美国医学会杂志》副主编德拉蒙德·伦尼博士提议，用一份完整且具有描述性的“贡献者”名单取代作者名单和致谢。对国际医学期刊编辑委员会关于作者身份的指南进行的细微修改保留了“作者”的称谓和致谢的使用，但鼓励明确描述每位研究者的贡献。研究人员和编辑应继续探索方法，以确保对已发表研究的贡献得到清晰且如实的认定。
