Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

In recent years, seemingly frequent examples of problems related to the integrity of authorship and publication have plagued the medical literature. These issues have been primarily related to the appropriateness of authorship (including ghostwriting and so-called “guest authorship” of manuscripts), duplicate publication of articles, plagiarism, scientific miscon duct in the form of falsification of data, and failure to disclose conflicts of interest. Although authorship and publication issues arise relatively rarely at the CJHP , the Journal has, on occasion, been faced with some of these concerns. Two issues that have received attention recently in the scientific literature and even in the lay press are the ghostwriting and guest authorship of scientific articles. Ghostwriting has been defined as “the failure to designate an individual (as an author) who has made a substantial contribution to the research or writing of a manuscript.” 1 Particular attention was drawn to this practice in a review of industry documents obtained during litigation related to rofecoxib, 1 in which it was discovered that numerous review articles had been prepared by people who were not recognized as authors or otherwise acknowledged. Instead, the authorship of these papers was attributed to investigators with academic affiliations. This review also revealed that many clinical trial manuscripts were written primarily by industry employees, with first authorship on each paper being attributed to an investigator with an aca demic affiliation. 1

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
