A statement of authorship is simply a required acknowledgement
from the authors by a journal that all authors are legitimate
and have actively contributed original work.
Sample Statement
The Annals of Surgery discourages the practice of "guest authorship" (giving
co-authorship to individuals who have made no substantive contribution to the
work being reported). All persons listed as authors are assumed to have been
actively involved in one or more key aspects of the reported study.
