- The OpenSAFELY co-pilot(s) for the project should always be offered authorship. Sometimes, if the co-pilot has needed to do a substantial amount of work to deliver a data analysis project for or with a collaborator organisation, it may be appropriate for the co-pilot to be offered joint first authorship (but not first). Appropriateness of joint first-authorship should be discussed with your co-pilot based on the extent of their contribution to your project.
- A core team of people who contribute to the running of the OpenSAFELY platform which facilitate every study that is completed should also be offered authorship. This includes people who contribute to the platform, code, data acquisition, data curation and management, and design of OpenSAFELY.
- In some circumstances (for example multiple consortia outputs across a diverse range of different datasets in a diverse range of different platforms with an extremely large number of contributors) it might be appropriate for some OpenSAFELY team to be authors, and others making smaller specific contributions to that single output to be listed under the group author name “The OpenSAFELY Collaborative” if the journal permits this in a manner that ensures that the individual names of members of that group author name also appear in Google Scholar and PubMed records (as is common with many journals).
- The named persons who should be offered authorship are listed [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-piPlxWtp1RbhQ5l7AGPrE8nLTzDIavPB1MG9bZPBfM/edit?usp=share_link), within a template authorship contribution form containing their contributions towards running the platform.
- “The OpenSAFELY Collaborative” should also be included, provided that the journal permits this in a manner that ensures that the individual names of members of that group author name also appear in Google Scholar and PubMed records (as is common with many journals).
- As with standard authorship guidelines, named authors must be given the opportunity to read and approve the final manuscript before submission. Persons offered authorship should also have the opportunity to decline the offer if preferred.
- A template authorship contribution form containing the named persons who should be offered authorship (and their contributions towards running the platform) can be found [here](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1-piPlxWtp1RbhQ5l7AGPrE8nLTzDIavPB1MG9bZPBfM/edit?usp=share_link).
