Author soup: measurement error in authorship | Jeremy Labrecque
We worry so much about measurement in epidemiology. (Or at least we should.) We teach about the bias and lack of precision that can occur due to measurement error. We ask participants in our studies to be as accurate as possible when filling out questionnaires to avoid measurement error to the extent possible. So where does this concern about measurement go when it comes to authorship?
Most fields have come up with ways of indirectly communicating to the reader the relative contribution of each author.
