“I have often noticed that a bribe has that effect it
changes a relation. The man who offers a bribe gives
away a little of his own importance” (dGraham
Greene).
The Gift authorship is defined as “co-authorship
awarded to a person who has not contributed
1 significantly to the study.” According to International
Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICJME),
authorship criteria guidelines, an “author” is
generally considered to be someone who has made a
substantive intellectual contributions to a published
study, including the conceptualization, acquisition,
analysis of data, drafting of the manuscript and
2
approval of the manuscript to be published. But
these guidelines are not accepted or followed by all
journals universally. Instead of ICJME author ship
criteria, some of the journals has started using
contributor lists, showing contribution or role of
each person in place of or in addition to traditional
3
lists of authors.
Authorship is considered one of the most imperative
aspect of the research which recognizes the research
credit and is crucial for clinician because it is the
primary criterion to judge their professional
4,5
progression and output. Secondly, the entire
departmental or institutional efficiency is also
3,4 judged on their publication record. Due to this, the
authorship list is a key information regarding their
contribution in research performed and it is
considered very important because incorrect
information may award credit to undeserving
person. Moreover, if a clinician or scientists are giving
false information's about contribution in research
project or publication than how one should expect
him to be any more honest about his findings or
results?
