Abstract

Objective Authorship of unfeasibly large numbers of publications may indicate guest authorship, plagiarism, or fabrication (eg, the discredited anesthetist Fujii published 30 trials in 1 year). However, it is difficult to accurately assess an individual’s true publication history in databases such as MEDLINE using searches for author name alone. We therefore used a bespoke, semiautomated tool, which considers additional author characteristics, to identify authorship patterns for a descriptive study of prolific authors.
