This guide provides links to e-books, videos, interactive learning simulations, infographics, and online resources related to professionalism in biomedical research.

Responsible Conduct of Research in Humans

Informed Consent

Research Integrity

Authorship

Order of Authorship

The Order of Authorship for a Biomedical Research Article can be confusing because “Practices for determining authors vary considerably by discipline and even from laboratory to laboratory.”  The INTERNATIONAL COMMITTEE OF MEDICAL JOURNAL EDITORS (ICMJE) have created the Uniform requirements for manuscripts submitted to biomedical journals.  Which features the section Ethical Considerations in the Conduct and Reporting of Research.  However it doesn’t explicitly state Order of Authorship.   

Considerations of Order of Authorship are available on the web.  Harvard Medical School has published its Authorship Guidelines which has (on page 2) a discussion of Authorship Order.  And Surajit Bhattacharya provides a fairly practical evaluation of Order of Authorship.  

It is recommended that you consult the place of Publication for their standards.
