Abstract: Honesty and truthfulness in an integral part of medical research which encompasses a variety of different courses relating to medical research and paper writing. For a scientific integrity, it is mandatory that the researcher or author should be fair, objective, complete and accurate in reporting outcome of research. It's also essential that appropriate recognition to be given as an author who has sufficient contribution and that to only those who has participated adequately. This can only be accomplished by accurately reporting and considering the all avenues of scientific integrity and application of appropriate publication ethics. Authorship disputes or doubts arise if transparency and publication ethics are not followed. This review will add to the existing literature by providing a broader overview of the diverse types of authorship-related issues with an attempt on providing tips to detect , avoid and address these issues.
