The CRediT (Contributor Roles Taxonomy) system, authorship definitions and policies, and relevant operating procedures and education are reviewed from institutional and publishing perspectives.

Trevor explored the need for clear contributions using, for example a contributor roles taxonomy such as CRediT, and clear authorship criteria. He also explored where authorship issues become unethical or fraudulent with examples of gift, guest and ghost authorship and others.</p> <div id="file-994761" class="file file-document file-application-pdf"> <h2 class="element-invisible"><a href="/web/20220403040633/https://publicationethics.org/file/994761">Ethical authorship versus fraudulent authorship</a></h2> <div class="content"> <div class="resource-download-inline"> <div class="resource-download-inline__container"> <div class="resource-download-inline__type"> Presentation </div> <div class="resource-download-inline__description"> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220403040633/https://publicationethics.org/files/authorship-cope-seminar-2021.pdf" target="_blank">Ethical authorship versus fraudulent authorship</a> <span class="resource-download-inline__meta">PDF 4 MB</span> </div> </div> <div class="resource-download-inline__shadow"> <div class="resource-download-inline__shadow__inner"></div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <h2>Promoting ethical authorship for a positive research culture</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220403040633/https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/ris/staff/samanthaoakley/#biography" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="/web/20220403040633im_/https://publicationethics.org/files/u1069951/cope-seminar-s-oakley-90x90-cir.png" style="margin: 3px 10px; float: left; width: 90px; height: 90px;"/></a><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220403040633/https://www.gla.ac.uk/myglasgow/ris/staff/samanthaoakley/#biography">Sam Oakley</a> Researcher Development and Integrity Specialist at the University of Glasgow (UofG), spoke about activities at UofG where helping researchers navigate the challenges of publication decisions in a way that supports the highest quality research while also giving them the best opportunities for their careers.</p> <p>Sam explains how the work institutions do on research culture supports authorship. UofG have <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220403040633/http://www.gla.ac.uk/media/Media_490311_smxx.pdf">guidelines for good practice in research</a>, and a clear misconduct policy and process, supported by internal training and learning.

Key to this is societal impact, and the people who are involved in the process: “A better research culture is not an alternative to excellence but rather it is what will enable more of us to excel”. </p> <h2><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220403040633/https://scholars.duke.edu/person/evan.kharasch" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="/web/20220403040633im_/https://publicationethics.org/files/u1069951/cope-seminar-e-kharasch-90x90-cir.png" style="margin: 3px 10px; float: left; width: 90px; height: 90px;"/></a>Why authorship matters</h2> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20220403040633/https://scholars.duke.edu/person/evan.kharasch" target="_blank">Evan D Kharasch</a>, is the Merel H Harmel Professor of Anesthesiology, Duke University, and the editor in chief of <em>Anesthesiology</em>. Evan began his talk describing the minimum requirements for authorship and understanding the criteria for authorship. There is inflation in the number of authors which is problematic particularly the inclusion of gift, guest or ghost authorship. Moving on to "why do authorship problems exist?", Evan talked about authors, institutions and journals in relation to the factors affecting authorship problems including: credit, reputation, status and financial gains. He then went on to identify what can be done about fraudulent authorship, highlighting examples of policies and practice in Anesthesiology journal for editors, authors, and institutions..</p> <p>The presentations were followed by a question and answer session.</p> <p><a href="#Top">Back to top</a></p> <h3>Useful links</h3> <p><a
