Authorship in scientific and medical research extends beyond a mere acknowledgment of contribution; it serves as a testament to the intellectual and practical efforts of individuals involved in the study. The ethical and procedural dimensions of attributing authorship are well-defined for living contributors, but a unique question arises when considering deceased individuals. Can a deceased person be listed as an author of scientific articles? The answer is affirmative, contingent upon adherence to certain ethical standards and guidelines. We wanted to inform our readers about the authorship of the publications of deceased persons.
Key words: Authorship, publications, literature, death
