Integrity of Authorship in the Age of Collaborative Research - Dr. Adil E. Shamoo


Integrity of Authorship in the Age of Collaborative Research
  Adil E. Shamoo, Ph.D., Professor and Editor- in-Chief, Accountability in Research
University of Maryland School of Medicine






In my opinion, the conference is timely to address the pressing issues in medical research. The intense nature of current progress in medical research necessitates anticipating and dealing with potential ethical and compliance issues. Among the issues of concern are: Integrity of research publications free from falsification, fabrication, and plagiarism.

I find my subject very significant because the integrity of publication free from misconduct is vital to safety of drugs to patients and to the overall process of research.

With the main points, the talk will consist of a short exercise in identifying plagiarism with a fun example. Afterwards, I will discuss examples of plagiarism around the world. I will discuss several safeguards promote integrity of authorship. I will discuss the several models to enhance integrity of authorship among them the contributor model. 

It is certainly worthwhile to attend the conference to participate in the latest issues on enhancing integrity of authorship in medical research.
