Co-First/Equal authorship is when two or more individuals are noted as providing the same or equal contribution(s) to a published work.
How do you list a corresponding author?
The corresponding author should be marked with an asterisk after the name, and be written corresponding author’s e-mail below the first page of manuscript. The asterisk shall be omitted if there is only one author. It is not required for the corresponding author to take charge of the main author.
Indicate all affiliations with a lower-case superscript letter immediately after the author’s name and in front of the appropriate address. Provide the full postal address of each affiliation, including the country name, and, if available, the e-mail address of each author.
How do you list two first authors?
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.
The first author should be the person who made a major contribution to the work, followed by the second and third. The corresponding author should be marked with an asterisk after the name, and be written corresponding author’s e-mail below the first page of manuscript.
What does corresponding author mean?
A corresponding author is the individual who, when working on a paper with multiple authors, takes primary responsibility for communicating with the journal you intend to publish in. The corresponding author usually makes themselves available throughout the process to respond to editorial queries.
What is a LaTeX source file?
