To the Editor: The change in the Journal's policy on authorship (July 4 issue),¹ which previously restricted the number of authors for an article, is appropriate and is to be welcomed. However, this change does not protect persons who have contributed substantially to a scientific work but who are deliberately excluded from the list of authors. To avoid this problem, we suggest that the Journal go a step beyond the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors² and require authors to declare that no person who would meet the criteria for authorship has been excluded.
