Authorship policy and author charges
Authorship confers credit and has important academic, social, and financial implications. It also implies responsibility for what is published and its results.
The Revista Ciencia Digital states that authorship is based on the following four criteria:
- Substantial contributions to data design, acquisition, analysis, or interpretation;
- Writing and critical review of intellectual content;
- Final approval of the version to be published;
- Agreement to be responsible for all aspects of the work and its outcome.
All those designated as authors must meet all four authorship criteria. An author must be able to identify which co-authors are responsible for other specific parts of the work and must have confidence in the integrity of their co-authors' contributions. Those who do not meet all four criteria should be recognized in acknowledgments.
