According to ICMJE, which of the following criteria are among those required to qualify an individual for authorship of an original article?

The criterion that identifies those who qualify for authorship according to the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) emphasizes the need for substantial contributions to the conception and design of the research as well as to the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data. This means that to be considered an author, an individual must have played a significant role in developing the initial ideas and framework that guided the research, which is a core component of scholarly publication.

This requirement is in line with the principles of research integrity and accountability, ensuring that authorship reflects actual intellectual contributions. It distinguishes those who have made meaningful contributions to the project from others who may have participated in a more supportive or clerical capacity, which does not meet the threshold for authorship.

The other options involve important roles in the conduct of a clinical trial but do not meet the criteria for authorship as established by ICMJE. For example, substantial support or supervision may facilitate the research process but does not equate to the intellectual contribution necessary for authorship. Similarly, monitoring a clinical trial, while critical to ensuring the research's integrity and compliance, does not fulfill the requirements set forth for someone to be recognized as an author on a publication.
