Читать книгу Randomised Clinical Trials - David Machin - Страница 132

In most clinical trial groups, there will inevitably be several members of the team and should the trial be multicentre then the full team of collaborators may be very numerous. It is useful to have stipulated a clear policy as to who the authors of the final publication will be and in what order they appear on the title page. Provided this is clear, and agreed by all concerned (including latecomers to the trial once it is ongoing) this need not be in included in the protocol itself. If a large number of collaborators are involved then it may be more sensible to publish under a group name with a full list of the investigators included as an appendix to the report but again, this should have been discussed and agreed from the outset.
