Authors and authorship (and citation and plagiarism) in medical writing

The current issue of The Write Stuff (available as open access here) — the journal of the European Medical Writers Association — is all about the complex writing process for medical journals. A sample from the table of contents:

• A contribution to the authorship debate: Can we trust definitions and declarations?
• Authorship ethics in Asian cultures
• Whose citations are they?

Add that to the summer reading list (below)!
