Are you tired of managing authorship issues for your scientific and medical manuscripts? Are you frustrated with last-minute authorship decisions that spark conflict among your team? In this video, you’ll learn a clear, objective, and collaborative strategy to prevent authorship debates before they start—helping your team work together smoothly and collaboratively from day one.

Plan authorship from the start of the project
Clarify the authorship criteria your team will follow
Define the roles and responsibilities for each author
Discuss authorship regularly and adapt as the project evolves
