Criteria for defining authorship : equally important for textbooks and educational resources

Brenda Happell, Michelle Cleary

    Research output: Contribution to journalArticle

    Abstract

    Strict criteria to determine entitlement to authorship of manuscripts submitted to peer reviewed journals is a hallmark of quality. To date this expectation has not been applied to the authorship of textbooks and other educational resources. This paper discusses criteria for authorship and applicability to the textbook and educational resource market. Failure to apply criteria in this domain could weaken the academic status of these contributions to learning and teaching for the health professions, particularly nursing.
