Works by two authors should list the last names and first initials separated by an ampersand (&). These names should be followed by the date of publication enclosed in parentheses. If the work is a journal article, the title of the article should immediately follow the publication date.
How do you list co-author on resume?
“Article Title.” Journal Title, Volume, Issue, Date, Pages. If you have co-authors, separate each name by a comma, and add “and” before the last author name.
Traditionally, co-first authors are indicated by an asterisk and the order of the individuals is the decision of the PI. Once the paper is published, it appears in print as follows: co-Author 1*, co-Author 2*, Author 3, and Author 4.
When does a lead author become a co-author?
When there are only three or four members on a research paper team, the workload should be fairly easy to divide up, with a corresponding designation of one lead author and two or three co-authors. However, when the size of the team increases, a point is reached when co-authors become contributors.
In a previous post, I provided guidelines on how to properly cite different groups of authors with the same lead author and publication date.
Who is the lead author in a book?
The definition of a lead author and co-author are commonly considered as follows: Lead Author: He/She is also called as the first author and is the one who carries out the research as well as writes and edits the manuscript. Co-Author: He/She is the one who collaborates with the lead author and contributes to the work in the manuscript.
For example, if you are citing the following work—in which Sandy Taylor is the lead author and John Smith and Wendy Johnson are listed as the coauthors—your entry would appear thus: Taylor, Sandy, et al. “Collaboration in the Twenty-First Century.” Journal of Collaborative Writing, vol. 20, no. 1, 2017, pp. 15-25.
