Why not switch to movie-style credits for research papers?

Movie-style credits could solve the longstanding problem of honorary and ghost authorship in high impact biomedical journals.1

The research group lead would be the producer and the principal investigator would be the director.

Ghosts could be credited as scriptwriters. Patients would be cast. The helpful medical student could be “best boy/girl”, and the professor would, of course, be the “gaffer.”
