Responsibility tiers and authorship Applicants may indicate a preference for First, Second, Third, Middle or Entry author responsibility. A preference supports matching; it is not an offer. Roles are considered after screening and whole-cohort profiling. No tier or author order is guaranteed. Final authorship depends on documented contribution, quality, timeliness, manuscript development, final approval and accountability. Selection, journal acceptance and publication are not guaranteed.
