Abstract

Ghosts and guests haunt medical journals. We don't usually notice them, but they occasionally rattle their chains to make us aware of their presence. A recent experience reminded us that authorship is not always what it seems, and so we reflect on practices that cast dark shadows across scientific publications: guest authoring and ghostwriting.
