- W3134981309 abstract "Authorship of an article published in a peer-reviewed journal is an important academic and scientific achievement. It is a contribution to the health and science literature and a prestigious accomplishment for the authors. But that achievement also requires accountability and responsibility for the article that carries the authors’ names. Over recent years, an increasing number of manuscripts received by this Journal have been disorganized and poorly written on submission. Many of these manuscripts list authors and co-authors who are well-published scholars. Such manuscripts unfortunately risk rejection, as reviewers may miss a worthwhile contribution to the literature while wading through unclear text. This is concerning, not only because of the loss of potentially valuable science, but also because authorship and mentoring authors are an integral component of scholarship. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis or interpretation of data for the work; AND (2) Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND (3) Final approval of the version to be published; AND (4) Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated or resolved. It is important to note that all authors must meet all 4 of these criteria to be considered an author. For someone to add their name to a manuscript who has not in fact met each one of these widely accepted and published requirements for authorship is unethical. Many journals, including JMWH, require each author to verify in writing that they meet all requirements for authorship as part of the publication process. If an individual's contribution to the manuscript does not meet all 4 criteria, that person can be formally acknowledged but cannot be listed as an author. No doubt, many, if not most, authors are familiar with these criteria and believe they meet them. In our view, however, the latter 2 requirements often seem to be unmet. When a manuscript is disorganized, unclear, and lacking accurate or up-to-date content on submission, it seems improbable that all authors, especially those who are seasoned scholars, have in fact read and approved it or recognize their accountability for the work. In some academic circles, it appears customary for those who may be only remotely involved in drafting a manuscript to add their names to the author list without providing much input or oversight during the writing process. Honorary or guest authorship was once a more common practice in academia4 but is now deemed inappropriate or even unethical.5-7 Nonetheless it seems to persist. Some authors have opined that they view the drafting, revision, and submission of a manuscript as being the first author's responsibility. Still others seem to think that it is part of the learning process for students to be left on their own to learn how to produce a publishable manuscript. These are not valid or acceptable practices for scholarly publication. When co-authors cede responsibility for a submission to the first author alone, providing little input or collaborative effort, or when senior authors do not provide the oversight and mentoring necessary to ensure that a manuscript meets minimum criteria for publication, the end result is that authors, reviewers, and editors all suffer. For those authors in the business of mentoring or teaching the next generation of researchers and authors, the addition of one's name without full participation in the authorship process sets an inappropriate example. Junior authors being mentored by their senior colleagues should not be placed in the position of questioning whether those senior colleagues meet requirements for authorship; the power dynamics in such a situation are too unbalanced. And the absence of oversight by senior experienced scholars on manuscripts first-authored by students or junior faculty could be seen as abdicating a presumed academic responsibility for mentorship. It is also a disservice to those who worked on the project to risk rejection of potentially valuable science because a manuscript is of poor quality. Submission of a manuscript that is an unpolished draft also creates an unreasonable burden for those involved in the review and editing process. Peer reviewers should not be expected to sort through a poorly written and disorganized manuscript in order to provide a thoughtful, cogent review. As is true of many nursing journals, the JMWH editors have a longstanding commitment to help novice authors, especially midwife authors, revise a manuscript into a publishable article. However, it is not the editor's job to write someone's manuscript for them, or to do the work of a junior author's mentoring and co-author team. The work of producing a publishable manuscript belongs to those whose names are listed as authors. And these unpolished submissions slight respected, peer-reviewed journals with an assumption that poor manuscripts are reflective of the quality of articles published in that journal. We recognize that contributions to scholarly work can be many and varied. The Consortia for Advancing Standards in Research Administration Information (CASRAI) has developed an informal yet widely accepted taxonomy for this. 8 However, all named authors should review the ICMJE requirements for authorship before submitting a manuscript to a journal and consider whether they in fact meet all 4 authorship criteria, including final approval of and accountability for the submission. Senior scholars and experienced authors who wish to co-author manuscripts with their junior colleagues should not allow a poorly written and poorly organized draft to burden reviewers and editors, but rather should provide the mentorship needed to ensure the submission is suitable for publication. This is the appropriate, ethical, and courteous view of authorship." @default.
