Research represents a fundamental component of today's clinical training in cardiology.
Most residency programs require their trainees to be actively involved in research
projects longitudinally during the curriculum, and high-impact publications constitute
major assets when applying to advanced training programs, for research grants, and
eventually academic positions. Today, research requires the convergence of multidisciplinary
collaborators with complementary skill sets. As medical students, residents, fellows,
and basic science trainees in the cardiovascular field, it is important to properly
understand the written and unwritten rules governing authorship attribution when publishing
research manuscripts, to avoid the unfortunate and avoidable frustrations of perceived
unfair recognition of the accomplished work. Upon progressing in our training, our
endeavours expand toward substantial intellectual inputs, to which journals tend to
confer higher value when determining authorship. This article highlights guidelines
and rules pertaining to manuscript authorship, and proposes tips and tricks for trainees.
