|  |  | This statement reflects the senior researcher’s originally agreed-upon contributions to the study and not her actual contributions. At her request, the graduate student assumed the senior researcher’s data collection and analysis responsibilities, and a postdoctoral fellow and the graduate student assumed the senior researcher’s manuscript preparation assignment. In the letter to the journal, the senior researcher should have stated her actual role in the study, not what she originally agreed to do.
