On all publications arising from research on the samples	65 42.2%	146 78.5%	74 58.3%	190 21%	51 48.6%
On the first publication arising from research on the samples	93 60.4%	101 54.3%	52 40.9%	239 27.6%	43 41%
Only if local scientists provide sufficient intellectual input into the publication	93 60.4%	90 48.4%	76 59.8%	371 43%	59 56.2%
MTAs should require that local scientists be given the opportunity to provide sufficient intellectual input to be credited for authorship on publications arising from research on the samples	113 73.3%	169 90.9%	110 86.6%	445 51.5%	63 60%
