title = "The ADNI Publication Policy: Commensurate recognition of critical contributors who are not authors",
abstract = "An efficient approach to certain types of biomedical research requires a scale that precludes involvement of all critical contributors in all aspects of experimental design, execution, and as well as writing of most, if not all, derived works. Guarantors of both the integrity of the data and of its subsequent analyses are required. When separate groups are responsible for each of these activities, each should be readily identifiable both in the primary publication and in all subsequent citations. We describe the publication policy of the Alzheimer Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI), its origins and its acceptance by the editorial and scientific communities.",
author = "Orest Hurko and Black, {Sandra E.} and Rachelle Doody and Doraiswamy, {P. Murali} and Anthony Gamst and Jeffrey Kaye and Obisesan, {Thomas O.} and Henry Rusinek and Doug Scharre and Reisa Sperling and Weiner, {Michael W.} and Green, {Robert C.}",
note = "Funding Information: But then, why require acknowledgement of non-author contributors in the “author line?” We agree with the Council of Science Editors (CSE) that “Bibliographic databases should enable users to retrieve citations to original articles by searching for the group name.” However, we find the use by CSE of the “group-author” term suboptimal, and prefer the terms “contributor” and “guarantor”, as proposed by the BMJ. Furthermore, we also believe that it is important that the role of critical non-author contributors and guarantors, such as ADNI, be recognized when a work is cited by another text. Neither can be accomplished by acknowledgement only in the body of the text or in an appended acknowledgement section, nor by reliance on grant or Pubmed numbers, neither of which are entered into the reference section of other manuscripts. Tracking citations for funding bodies does not require author-line acknowledgment. Transparent communication with scientific colleagues does. We note that many editorial bodies are silent on the exact placement of acknowledgements of non-author contributors, while others, including the BMJ, recommend acknowledgement of non-author contributors in the body of the text.
