`  == Guidelines from International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) for determining authorship of and contributorship to medical journal articles. ==  Reading this article, I was surprised to see that the Vancouver Group Requirements (not the ``Vancouver Style`` for medical journal article citations, that's a separate issue) for determining who is an author of a medical journal article, who is a contributor to a medical journal article, and where these guidelines may be found are completely absent from the article.  That is a grievous omission.  As a degreed technical writer who has met the Vancouver Group (now the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE)) guidelines as a medical journal coauthor for having taken part in two of the three phases of medical research described in a list of medical journal articles, mostly in interventional angiology and cardiology, I feel that any article dealing with ``medical ghostwriting`` is fatally flawed unless the issue of hard and fast guidelines for determining and crediting authorship and contributorship in a medical journal article is dealt with in detail.  It's an easy issue to resolve, and the guidelines for dealing with it are so concise they can be quoted verbatim in a Wikipedia article.  Which I did.  This article NOW (after the changes I made) equips the reader to be able to say who is an author of a medical journal article - using the very same guidelines medicine uses to establish that same fact.  The reader is also now able to determine in general terms who is a contributor to a medical journal article using the same guidelines medicine uses to establish that fact.  Finally, the previously undealt-with issue of how authorship and contributorship guidelines are enforced, who draws them up and who polices them is now dealt with in the text.  `
