As the name suggests, contributing writers are either writers or thought leaders, or both, who do not work full-time with a publication but convey their wisdom through their niche-specific writings.
A group author is an organization or institution that is credited with authorship of a source publication such as an article, a book, a proceeding, or another type of work. Enter a group author name to search the following fields within a full record: Corporate Author(s)and Book Group Author(s).
Is co Second author a thing?
Co-second (and so on) is just the generalization to the next set of authors. They’re all co-authors, as that term is more inclusive, and doesn’t say anything about contribution level.
Collaborator names are included redundantly even if they have also been included as authors for the citation (because they also appear in the byline or are explicitly identified in the article as the authors).
The ICMJE recommends that authorship be based on the following 4 criteria:
- Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND.
- Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND.
How is authorship defined in a multi-author group?
Some large multi-author groups designate authorship by a group name, with or without the names of individuals. When submitting a manuscript authored by a group, the corresponding author should specify the group name if one exists, and clearly identify the group members who can take credit and responsibility for the work as authors.
The individuals who conduct the work are responsible for identifying who meets these criteria and ideally should do so when planning the work, making modifications as appropriate as the work progresses. We encourage collaboration and co-authorship with colleagues in the locations where the research is conducted.
