To be fully accredited as an author as part of a group all members must fulfil the criteria of authorship. They will be fully searchable in PubMed.

If only some of the group meet authorship criteria, they should be listed as authors and the others that don’t should be recognised in the acknowledgements section of the manuscript. Eg Author A, Author B, Author C on behalf of the ABC research group. The research group would then be listed in the acknowledgements.
