Surgical pathology dissection. An illustrated guide, 2nd ed

Abstract

Guidelines for authorship of biomedical journals have been available for nearly two decades now to help determine how attribution should be acknowledged. 1 With an increasing number of multiauthored articles and with contributions from diverse specialties, authorship disputes will always raise their head because existing guidelines may not be followed stringently or may be misinterpreted. I analysed author numbers in the Indian Journal of Pathology and Microbiology over the past 28 years (1975-2002). The designation of various authors or their individual contributions to the authored papers was not ascertained. In total, 1861 articles comprising 1268 (68.1%) original articles and 593 (31.9%) case reports were studied.
