A Platform (Authorships.org) for the Objective Qualification and Order of Academic Authorship in Medical and Science Journals: Development and Evaluation Study Using the Design Science Research Methodology.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The qualification and order of authorship in scientific manuscripts are the main disputes in collaborative research work.

Objective

The aim of this project was to develop an open-access web-based platform for objective decision-making of authorship qualification and order in medical and science journals.

Methods

The design science process methodology was used to develop suitable software for authorship qualification and order. The first part of the software was designed to differentiate between qualification for authorship versus acknowledgment, using items of the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. The second part addressed the order of authorship, using the analytical hierarchy process for objective multiple criteria
