Authorship Confirmation

Responsibility for decisions regarding the authorship of the research lies with those who carried out the work reported in the abstract. Researchers should be aware of the authorship practices within their own disciplines and should always abide by any requirements stipulated by journals as part of their instructions to authors.

Normally, an author is an individual judged to have made a substantial intellectual or practical contribution to a publication and who agrees to be accountable for that contribution. This would normally include anyone who has:

  • made a significant contribution to the conception or design of the project or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND/OR
  • drafted the work or reviewed/revised it critically for important intellectual content.

This is general guidance only and may not apply to all disciplines or journals which may set different standards.

Anyone listed as an author on an abstract submission should approve the final version and accept responsibility for ensuring that he or she is familiar with its contents and can identify his or her contribution to it. 

Researchers are advised to seek guidance on practice within their own discipline and to consult guidelines set by the funders of their research and the journals in which they hope to publish.

NIMDTA, QUB, UU or UMS will not accept any responsibility for errors relating to authorship of research conducted.
