For ways forward, we looked at #ICMJE definitions of the roles of authors and contributors:

While offering clear criteria, they can be further improved with view to the responsibilities of authors and #ResearchIntegrity:

New posting! This one's a #HowTo guide to #authorship on scientific publications, drawing heavily on #ICMJE criteria and #CRediT taxonomy, and based on #MedComms experience. Hope it's helpful! As always, likes/comments/reposts very welcome😊👇

Update. Statement from #TheLancet in response to recent US executive orders
https://www.thelancet.com/editorial-policies#anchor10

"The Lancet Group will be making no changes to our editorial policies regarding withdrawal, authorship change, inclusive language, or retraction. Ahead of publication, the withdrawal of submitted papers and authorship changes will only generally be considered if the written agreement of all authors is received. The Lancet Group will continue to recommend the use of inclusive language, accepting authors’ ultimate choice of terminology when it is scientifically accurate and respectful, and will continue to encourage authors to follow the Sex and Gender Equity in Research (SAGER) reporting guidelines. Published papers will only be corrected or retracted when they contain factual errors or if scientific misconduct has taken place. These policies are in line with recently issued guidance from the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors [#ICMJE]."

Update. An editorial in #JAMA and the #JAMANetwork.

"Some authors of scientific works in process have had to remove their names from publications for these publications to proceed; others have chosen to pause or withdraw their publications. While some of these actions are directly related to the executive order to #HHS employees to cease communications, many have been undertaken preemptively by authors who are not subject to the order but are presumably fearful of the challenges of communicating complex findings in this current environment. Some authors are engaging in anticipatory compliance by scrubbing from their manuscripts words they fear may be deemed, in the moment, politically unacceptable…We remain steadfast in our guidance to authors and readers across the JAMA Network journals and endorse and adhere to the standards set by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors [#ICMJE]…We will act flexibly, where appropriate, to ensure that censoring efforts will not silence the integrity of the scientific process or clear communication of scientific information important for health."

New study: More than one-third of public health #journals (33.7%) do not ask authors for data-sharing statements. Those that do request data-sharing statements are more likely to be #OpenAccess, high in #JIF, published in the UK, or endorsers of the Consolidated Standards of Reporting Trials (#CONSORT).

Note that "the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (#ICMJE) require[s] that all papers submitted after July 1, 2018, must include a data-sharing statement."
