PY - 2020 DA - 2020/07/02 TI - Guidance on authorship with and acknowledgement of patient partners in patient-oriented research JO - Research Involvement and Engagement SP - 38 VL - 6 IS - 1 AB - The Strategy for Patient-Oriented Research Chronic Pain Network was founded in 2016 and is a patient-oriented research network funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research. The Network incorporates patient partners throughout its governance and operations meaning that patient partners may contribute to research projects in ways that warrant scientific authorship as defined by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors. The Network did a brief informal review of guidance on patient authorship in 2019, but could not find any practical documentation to guide its members on this topic. Note the term patient partner here refers to a patient (or caregiver or other person with lived experience) who is a partner or collaborator on a research team. This guidance does not address patients as participants in a research study. SN - 2056-7529 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/s40900-020-00213-6 DO - 10.1186/s40900-020-00213-6 ID - Richards2020 ER -
