Tip

Please see the Cochrane Library editorial policy on authorship.
Editors may refer to Authorship and contributorship in the revised editorial guidance resource.


Cochrane permits adding joint first authors for when two or more authors may agreed to have contributed equally to a review and wish to share the position of first author in the byline.

This is displayed in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews in the author information; such as shown in https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD009593.pub4:
