发表的文章是沟通新工作的主要手段，建立优先权，并确定学术推广，出版取决于信任，并要求作者在报告中遵守诚实，完整和公平的标准，并对他们的陈述负责。作者身份制度虽然适用于只有一名作者的文章，但随着一篇文章作者平均人数的增加，随着共同作者的工作变得更加专业化，他们之间的关系变得更加复杂，随着信用和责任变得模糊和淡化，作者身份制度已经变得不合适。除非向读者披露那些被命名为作者的人的贡献，否则信用和问责制就无法评估，因此该系统是有缺陷的。我们主张一个激进的概念和系统的变化，以反映现实的多个作者船舶和支持问责制，我们建议放弃过时的概念，有利于更有用和现实的贡献者。这需要向读者披露贡献者对研究和手稿的贡献，以便他们能够接受信用和责任，此外，某些指定的贡献者承担整个工作完整性的担保人角色。要求所有参与者都被指定为撰稿人，将消除作者和作者之间的人为区别，并将加强出版的完整性。
A published article is the primary means whereby new work is communicated, priority is established, and academic promotion is determined, Publication depends on trust and requires that authors be held to standards of honesty, completeness, and fairness in their reporting, and to accountability for their statements. The system of authorship, while appropriate for articles with only 1 author, has become inappropriate as the average number of authors of an article has increased; as the work of coauthors has become more specialized and relationships between them have become more complex; and as both credit and, even more, responsibility have become obscured and diluted. Credit and accountability cannot be assessed unless the contributions of those named as authors are disclosed to readers, so the system is flawed. We argue for a radical conceptual and systematic change, to reflect the realities of multiple author ship and to buttress accountability, We propose dropping the outmoded notion of author in favor of the more useful and realistic one of contributor. This requires disclosure to readers of the contributions made to the research and to the manuscript by the contributors, so that they can accept both credit and responsibility, In addition, certain named contributors take on the role of guarantor for the integrity of the entire work. The requirement that all participants be named as contributors will eliminate the artificial distinction between authors and acknowledgees and will enhance the integrity of publication.
