Abstract

This chapter deals with names and acronyms for trials, whose name goes in mastheads of publications from the trial, how papers are titled, and credit listings in manuscripts. The issue of whose names goes on publications is reasonably straight forward when only a few people are involved in a work but becomes progressively more complicated as the size of the investigator group increases. Should attribution be to the entire research group without any persons listed in the publication masthead, or should it be to named persons? If the format is to list names, then who should be listed and in what order? How should results papers from the trial be titled? Titling is important because title is what is used to attract readers. What should it be? Should it be headline style announcing results of the trial, or should it be descriptive indicating the nature of the trial producing the results? Credits serve to inform readers who were involved and provide insights into how the trial was done. What goes in the credits sections of papers and in what format?
