Likewise, we may ask if financial supporters should also be considered as coauthors.

In many cases, at best these individuals should appear in the acknowledgments section only. What makes a potential author deserving? Excellent guidance is provided by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE, 1997), who developed the Vancouver Guidelines on Authorship. They state that anyone listed as an author should have participated in the work sufficiently to take public responsibility for the content of the article and its work. Thus, along with credit for the work comes accountability for its quality, originality, reproducibility, and validity.

An act of plagiarism can be committed by accident. However, this will never hold up as an excuse for the act. • Citation standards vary between disciplines. What constitutes plagiarism in one discipline or professional society may not be viewed as plagiarism by another discipline or professional society. It is of the utmost importance to understand your disciplinary culture so that you may remain within its bounds. • There may be culturally different standards for the appropriate use of other people's material.
