Abstract: In this paper, the significance of authorship in biomedical literature is generally described, followed by an empirical illustration using data collected from papers listed in MEDLINE of the National Library of Medicine (USA) on Nigeria. The paper provides an answer to the following question: what is the trend in authorship of biomedical literature on Nigeria since 1967? Addressing this question will contribute to our knowledge of the development and growth of biomedical research and its literature on Nigeria, which in turn is indicative of the productivity of the authors.
