Good they used a pro! "Authorship" is just a game that career academics play for fame and money under the extreme economic CoI of publ-or-perish. People actually doing the studies, like trial managers, research nurses and monitors, are never accepted as "authors" by academia.

I mean, the fact that it's common doesn't in my view make it ethical for a bunch of academics to rubber stamp something someone rule wrote and take all the credit!

If chunky medical journals gave a toss about ghostwriting they would have done something 20 years ago before MECCs became such a big industry. At its worst, there are medical authors on fancy papers who've (a) never read their 'own' work and (b) got paid to be an author anyway.

It's all an ICJME violation of course (ghostwriter contributes substantially, left off; fancy doctor does not, put on) but that's like saying 'this journal did not follow COPE guidelines' in an investigation... no-one cares.

Seems odd if the author isn't actually an author on the paper.
