Authorship Responsibilities
About Authorship As academic institutions have set publication in peer reviewed journals as one of the key performance indicators (KPIs), academics often seek collaboration with their peers and students to get more articles published. It is, however, noticed that the quality of the articles submitted to the Journal does not always reflect the reputation of the academics who have been cited as authors in a paper, raising questions as to whether these individuals have contributed sufficiently to warrant authorship in the articles attributed to them. IJIFSD, like other publishers such as Emerald, subscribes to the authorship principles charted by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), which stipulate four criteria for an author to be conferred authorship rights. Specifically, authors must have: • Made substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; and • Drafted the work or revised it critically for important intellectual content; and • Given their final approval of the version to be published; and • Agreed to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved. Regarding authorship attribution, it is the collective responsibility of authors to recognise all individuals who have fulfilled all the above-mentioned criteria of authorship as well as agree on the order of the authors’ names based on the authors’ individual contributions. As part of publication ethics, IJIFSD publishes a declaration of authors indicating the specific works carried out by each of the authors. Among the list of authors, a corresponding author should also be identified for the publication. The corresponding author is responsible for getting all approvals from fellow authors and is the principal point of contact for communication with the journal. It is likewise crucial to differentiate between those who should be attributed as authors and those who should be mentioned under ‘acknowledgements’ for having supported the research by acquiring funding, providing research grants, collecting data, providing general research supervision, critically reviewing the article, or having been involved in technical editing, proofreading, or translation. An acknowledgement section, placed at the end of the article published in IJIFSD, provides for: A note of thanks for any kind of assistance the authors have received in the conduct of the research; Declaration of funding sources; Declaration if the article draws from any previous work (e.g., conference proceedings, or PhD work, or a draft published on online repositories).

Erasmus, man of letters
The name Erasmus of Rotterdam conjures up a golden age of scholarly integrity and the disinterested pursuit of knowledge, when learning could command public admiration without the need for authorial self-promotion. Lisa Jardine, however, shows that Erasmus self-consciously created his own reputation as the central figure of the European intellectual world. Erasmus himself-the historical as opposed to the figural individual-was a brilliant, maverick innovator, who achieved little formal academic recognition in his own lifetime. What Jardine offers here is not only a fascinating study of Erasmu.

FOAM authorship: Who’s teaching the learners?
Learning Objectives: Of all posts from the top 25 blogs in 2020, more than half came from six sites, most contained clinical content, and authors were largely North American male academics with MD degrees. Learners, content-creators, and educators must recognize these limitations in utilizing online educational content.Background: While use of Free Open Access Medical Education (FOAM) content has grown over the last decade, concerns about quality assessment remain. Given the disconnect between the high utilization of these resources by learners and the low barriers and oversight to publishing, the authors of FOAM resources require further scrutiny.Objectives: We sought to describe the production and authorship characteristics of the most impactful FOAM blogs.Methods: Based on previous studies, a classification system for post content was developed by to two authors with content expertise in online educational resources. We included 12 months (August, 2019 - May, 2021) of blog posts from each of the top 25 sites in the 2020 social media index (SMI). We recorded the following: number of posts per site and per author, types of post; and author related details such as gender, title, affiliation, degree, location of practice and type of practice (academic, community, or hybrid). Gender was determined based on an online identification tool (genderchecker.com).Results: We identified 2,141 posts by 1,001 authors, with more than half produced by six websites: EM Docs (266), Life in the Fast Lane (232), EMCrit (188), ALiEM (185), Don’t Forget the Bubbles (181), and Rebel EM (174). Most content (1680 posts, 78.5%), lacked a conflicts of interest (COI) statement. Posts averaged 5.9 + 11.1 references and 2.32 + 7.8 comments. Authors were mostly academic (89%), mostly held MD degrees (67.4%), and skewed male (59.7%). Geographically, most FOAM authors reside in the USA (59.5%), Canada (22.42%), or the UK (9.4%).Conclusions: Of all the posts in the top 25 blogs in 2020, more than half came from six sites, most contained clinical content, and authors were largely North American male academics with MD degrees. Learners, content-creators, and educators should consider the ways in which a more diverse authorship pool might bring value to the FOAM educational experience.

Most of what follows is true : places imagined and real
\"Most of What Follows Is True is an examination of the complex relationship between fact and fiction, between the \"real world\" and the stories we tell to explain the world to ourselves. Drawing on his own experience appropriating historical characters to fictional ends, Michael Crummey brings forward important questions about how writers use history and real-life figures to animate fictional stories. Is there a limit to the liberties a writer can take with the real world? Is there a point at which a fictionalization of history becomes a falsification of history? What responsibilities do writers have to their readers, and to the historical and cultural materials they exploit as sources? Crummey offers thoughtful, witty views on the deep and timely conversation around appropriation.\"-- Provided by publisher.
