- Each listed author must have
- participated in conception, design, analysis, or interpretation;
- drafted or critically revised the manuscript; and

The editor may contact any of the authors and/or contributors to ascertain whether they have agreed to any alteration.
- The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) Uniform Guidelines for Manuscripts Submitted to Biomedical Journals (1) specifically state that “all contributors who do not meet the criteria for authorship, such as a person who . . . provided purely writing assistance" be named in the acknowledgments.
- Important contributions to an article should be recognized and appropriately attributed in that article.
Good medical writers and editors can make valuable contributions to the publication process, often improving the clarity of the communication, broadening the scope of literature review, providing an extra level of data review, adding balance and objectivity, and shortening the time needed for manuscript development.
The American Medical Writers Association (AMWA) http://www.amwa.org believes that these important contributions deserve recognition.
- Readers benefit from knowing about the involvement of professional writers and editors.
Disclosing the editorial contribution and the source of funding of the writer and editor allows the reader to make informed judgments about the objectivity of the article.
Note that the AMWA position statement recommends acknowledgment of pertinent professional or financial relationships as well as acknowledgment of the contributions of writers and editors.
It also recommends that the person being acknowledged be given the opportunity to grant or refuse permission for the acknowledgment. References:
