SILVA FUENTE-ALBA, Claudio. AUTHORSHIP IN BIOMEDICAL ARTICLES: THE CASE OF IMAGING. Rev. chil. radiol. [online]. 2010, vol.16, n.1, pp. 17-23. ISSN 0717-9308.  http://dx.doi.org/10.4067/S0717-93082010000100005.

The definition of authorship is a subject of ongoing discussion wherein elements of prestige and academic career are involved. As a potential source of conflicts, it must be handled with extreme strictness to avoid difficulties when presenting scientific outcomes. Both a review of international standards relating to regarding authorship, accepted to date, and the position of the editorial board of the Revista Chilena de Radiología are presented.
