[Reflections on the authorship of the scientific studies].
This document aims to comment on the currently used concepts of authorship of scientific articles. Parallelly, the question of the order of the authors is discussed. The concept of authorship according to contribution and of the special case of the group publications is approached. Special emphasis has been made in the bibliographic search on obtaining publications from groups of Spanish authors to illustrate how the group signing of the publications in our setting is done. Finally, the Clinical Research Group in Primary Care (G-ICAP) makes a series of recommendations in order to facilitate decision-making on these subjects, both for the studies of the G-ICAP itself as well as for other scientific studies developed in the health sciences setting.
