So I'm working with my mentor on a large institutional study, not by our institution. I realized there are a total of 30 people collecting data, I suppose not all of us will be listed as authors, but perhaps as study collaborators.

Does that hold the same value as an author?
Do I still get to put that down as a publication? Is I did the entire data collection from my institution if that matters?
