The International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) sets strict criteria for authorship, and federal agencies scrutinize discrepancies in funding acknowledgments as potential grant misconduct. Accurate authorship and funding disclosures are essential to protect the reputation of researchers and institutions and to avoid lengthy investigations.
