Description: The practice of listing a senior member(s) of a department, who did not qualify for authorship, as a co-author on all or most submitted articles can be an efficient way to boost the scientific output of these individuals. This practice could also facilitate manuscript publication, especially when the senior members are well known researchers and when editors and peer reviewers are not blinded. This manuscript presents a protocol for a systematic review of survey research to assess the prevalence of this practice in research departments of the health sciences.
