What Is a Corresponding Author?

Corresponding authors often refer to the person in charge of the project, who is responsible for the project's funding, design, writing, and control of the article. Contact for articles and research materials. The most important thing is to take responsibility for the reliability of the article. Responsible for all communication with the editorial department and consultation from readers. In fact, in terms of intellectual property rights, the research results are regarded as corresponding authors. The advantage of the corresponding author is that he can establish a wider connection with the outside world.

Corresponding author is the most important author of the article. In the process of manuscript submission, modification, and acceptance, all communication is generally the responsibility of the corresponding author. Corresponding author should be the bearer of the external responsibility of the paper

1. Corresponding author (when the graduate student I supervised is the first author of the dissertation) is equivalent to the first author.

2. Only one paper is counted once. If the paper is co-authored by multiple persons from the university, it can only be counted once in the name of the first author (or correspondent author), and the first author (or correspondent) must be used when filling in the Scientific Research Achievement Summary Form and online application (Author) approve the workload allowance for the remaining participants. The workload of the first finisher (or corresponding author) must be greater than 50%, and the total workload of all finishers at that school is 100%. Off-campus authors and graduate students do not give research workload and do not need to fill in. The second person cannot distribute the workload.

3. If "Other participants' names and workload" is not filled in, it will be assumed that the first complete person (corresponding author) holds 100% of the scientific research workload of the paper.

Who should be the author of the paper and who should not be the author of the paper. The responsibility of the corresponding author. This article discusses the seriousness of scientific papers.

Talking from a Letter to the Chinese Corresponding Author from the Journal of the American Chemical Society (JACS)

We received your submitted article on 04/26/2004. Please have each of your co-authors directly send us an indlidual message from their own email address. In each message, that particular author should include the following confirmation statements:

1. I verify that I have seen and have approved the submitted manuscript;

2. I consent to having my name appear in the list of authors and, thereby, take responsibility for the results contained in the manuscript.

3. I have read and am in compliance with the ACS Ethical Guidelines: https://paragon.select: Ethical Guidelines http://www.pubs./instruct/ethic.html,

We look forward to receiving indlidual messages from each of your co-authors, so that processing may continue on your manuscript.

Sincerely,

Peter J. Stang

(1) Who should be the author

Royal Society of Chemistry: Ethical Guidelines for Publishing Papers

As a minimum, authors should take responsibility for a particular section of the study. The award of authorship should balance intellectual contributions to the conception, design, analysis and writing of the study against the collection of data and other routine work. If there is no task that can reasonably be attributed to a particular indlidual, then that indlidual should not be credited with authorship. All authors must take public responsibility for the content of their paper. The multidisciplinary nature of much research can make this difficult, but this may be resolved by the disclosure of indlidual contributions.

The author is responsible for at least one specific part of the research. Make sure that the author should consider his brain contribution to the research conception, design, analysis, and writing based on a balance, rather than data collection or other routine work. If no task can be attributed to an individual, then that individual should not be the author. All authors must be socially responsible for the content of their paper. Doing so will be difficult for many researches due to its multidisciplinary nature, but this problem may be solved by expressing the contributions of each author.

(2) Who should not be the author

Who is the easiest to get on the author list?

1. Funders, including laboratory mentors.

2. Executive leadership.

3. An experimenter who just collects data and did not participate in analysis, discussion, writing, etc.

4. A person with a special relationship with a senior author or lead author.

(3) Who should be the first author

The first author of the paper is usually the main executor of the specific work and is responsible for the main experimental results.

Younger people are preferred.

In most cases, alphabetical sorting is unreasonable.

Sometimes two authors are named: they have the same contribution.

Corresponding author's specific responsibilities

Royal Society of Chemistry: Ethical Guidelines for Publishing Papers

9. To give due acknowledgement to all workers contributing to the work. Those who have contributed significantly to the research should be listed as co-authors. On submission of the manuscript, the corresponding author attests to the fact that those named as co-authors have agreed to its submission for publication and accepts the responsibility for having properly included all (and only) co-authors.

The corresponding author signs a copyright licence on behalf of all the authors.

Give proper recognition to all those who have contributed to this work. Those who have made significant contributions to research should be included as co-authors. At the time of submission, the corresponding author should confirm that all persons included in the author list agree to submit, and assume the responsibility of including all co-authors and only co-authors. Corresponding authors sign copyright certificates on behalf of all authors.

(4) Who should be the corresponding author

1. Generally, it is a relatively senior researcher.

2. No academic status or job requirements. Students, postdocs can do it, as long as they can take responsibility.

3. Young people acting as correspondence authors are conducive to cultivating their ability to work independently.

First of all, in general, the first author is the main finisher of the work, which should be no objection. In most cases, the first author is also the lead author of the article. But there are exceptions. For example, the boss of nice writes the article by himself and puts the student first; the boss of not nice asks the student to write the article and hangs himself first. The article was co-authored by multiple people, the first author was the one who contributed the most, and therefore there was even a matter of marking multiple people as the first author.

However, it is very difficult to say whether the first author is or is not the author of the academic thought of the article. In general, students who are just getting started are, in most cases, doing work based on the ideas provided by the boss. For more senior doctors, post-doctors and other researchers who are graduating soon, their work is less dependent, and as a first author, they often make great contributions to academic thinking. And if it is the equal cooperation of multiple independent researchers, then the first author is obviously the main author of academic ideas.

Let's talk about the corresponding author. The fundamental purpose of the corresponding author is to make it easier for readers of the article to communicate with the author. Because of the mobility of students and postdoctoral staff, the fixed address of the boss is often used as the corresponding author and put the name last (sometimes an article is not only given an email address ).

On the other hand, the corresponding author is also a person who deals directly with the editorial department and needs a certain amount of credit and experience. Often students and postdocs are not well-known, so when they work, colleagues often say what work a certain boss's group has done. This is normal.

Whether the corresponding author is the author of academic ideas is very difficult to say. In particular, many big bosses are mainly engaged in money and relationships, and the specific academic details cannot be asked. In this case, they are the people who pointed out the research direction, but they are not necessarily the people who specifically put forward ideas to solve the problem.

In addition, if the first author (graduate student) submits for the first time, the person who signs the contract is often the corresponding author.
