Accreditation of publications and co-authorship
Accreditation of publications
In order for a publication to be included in NVI reporting, the author’s institutional affiliation must be stated in the publication as the author’s address. It is the author’s responsibility to make sure that this is done. Read more about accreditation.
There are some HiØ employees that also work at another Cristin institution. This means that they have two institutional affiliations in Cristin, e.g. both UiO and HiØ. Therefore, it is important to check that the correct institutional affiliation with HiØ is registered for each publication registered in Cristin.
-
You click on ‘Add Author’ as normal, search for your name and select the entry with (P) behind it.
-
As an example, HiØ/UIO will follow your name if you have two different affiliations/places of employment.
-
If the wrong institution is displayed in relation to your name, you must click on the ‘house’ to the right of your name, tick the box limiting your search to HIOF and find the correct department, e.g. Department of Teacher Education. Select from the list and HiØ appears under your author name. Then click on ‘delete’ next to the institution affiliation that isn’t to be used.
Co-authorship and the Vancouver Protocol
The Vancouver Protocol provides guidelines for manuscripts submitted to the publications. Despite them not having any formal or legal status, Vancouver Protocol rules have great authoritative power within research communities.
The Vancouver Protocol rules state three important criteria for co-authorship. All three criteria must be met:
-
One must have made a significant contribution to the conception and design of the project or participated in the data collection, or in the analysis and interpretation of the data.
-
One must have made a significant contribution when the manuscript was drafted or revised.
-
One must have been involved in approving the final version submitted for publication.
-
An agreement of responsibility must be reached regarding all parts of the work so as to ensure that issues related to the precision or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Contributors who do not meet these criteria must be listed in a footnote.
These are criteria that most medical journals use when publishing scientific articles. The Protocol provides authors with both practical and ethical guidelines.
Although the criteria apply to medical journals, most researchers will benefit from familiarising themselves with the content of the Protocol regarding the publication of research results.
