The first version of these policies (more than 90% of the current document) was approved by the DPBRN Executive Committee in December 2006.
All practitioner-investigators, faculty investigators, and staff personnel involved with data collection, study design, field testing or other significant aspects of the study, and who are not a named author, are acknowledged collectively as the last author as "for the DPBRN Collaborative Group ". The use of "collective author" or "corporate author" investigator groups is widely accepted. For example, if one goes to PubMed at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=PubMed&TabCmd=Limits and selects the “Default Tag” to “Corporate Author” under the “Tag Terms” section, and searches for the terms <”Collaborative Group” or “Study Group” or “Investigator Group”> as the named author, then one will identify more than 10,000 publications from a wide range of journals and scientific disciplines.
