Authorship Committee

The Authorship Committee is a sub-committee of the Collaboration Board to which its chairperson reports regularly. The main task of the Authorship Committee is to harmonize, monitor and maintain the author list. The practical application of these guidelines may generate a series of requests for exceptions. The Authorship Committee will deal with all such requests.

The Collaboration Board is ultimately responsible for defining CMS authorship. It shall appoint an Authorship Committee for two-year periods of office (appropriately staggered to maintain continuity).
