[CANMEDLIB] Not being acknowledged in published SRs

[Elizabeth Yates]

Hello health librarian colleagues,
This is a combination kvetch and question post 😊
Today I came across a newly published systematic review<https://ocul-bu.primo.exlibrisgroup.com/permalink/01OCUL_BU/p5aakr/cdi_proquest_miscellaneous_2612392645> for which I provided a great deal of support to the lead author, a graduate student. Under the terms of our Levels of Systematic Review Services<https://brocku.ca/library/systematic-reviews/#1604605007105-107a88f1-0056>, librarians providing Tier 2 support (extended consultations) are to be acknowledged by name as “participating investigators” in any resulting published research including theses and dissertations.
Guess what: I am mentioned as a nameless Applied Health Sciences Librarian ☹in the paper. I’m sure this scenario happens quite often! As does neglecting to mention librarian support at all.
I’m trying to decide whether to follow up with the authors, and I’m curious to hear how others handle this type of oversight – looking for tips, commiseration, whatever you’ve got!
Happy to receive responses off-list if that suits.
Cheers
Elizabeth
