1. The first author usually marks the first person's name and the corresponding number 1 at the back of the text. The specific method is: word Page-Tools-Customize-Options-Select "Display Common Toolbars and Formatted Toolbars in Two Lines"-Close. At this point, the selection keys of superscript and subscript in X2 are displayed in the upper right corner of the word toolbar.

2. Correspondents' names are usually marked with asterisks, and footnotes are also indicated, so it is easy to distinguish correspondents from other authors. When we write an article, move the cursor behind the name of the correspondent, click Insert in the menu bar, and then click the quotation, footnote and endnote to mark relevant symbols and information as required.

First author and journalist

The first author is generally the researcher who has made the greatest contribution to the specific work of the paper. This author not only has the most important charts (that is, physical contributions), but also is the author of the first draft of the article (that is, the intellectual contribution paper). In China, graduate students only recognize the first author when evaluating professional titles and publishing papers. When it comes to some articles that reflect the boss's important views, some bosses will not let go of being both the first author and the communication author.

Correspondents generally refer to the chief person in charge of the whole project, who is not only responsible for the funding, design and writing of the project, but also the contact person for articles and research materials. Responsible for all communication with the editorial department during the submission, revision and publication of papers, and accept the consultation of readers.

Second, the difference between the first author and the correspondent author.

1, different creative contributions

Correspondent's status is higher than that of the first author, and his contribution to a paper is also the greatest.

2, the work content is different

Journalists are usually the most authoritative authors in the field of newspapers. Correspondents generally refer to the person in charge of the whole project, who is responsible for the funding, design and writing of articles. The first author is generally the researcher who has made the greatest contribution to this work. This author not only has the most important charts (that is, physical contributions), but also is the author of the first draft of the article (that is, the contribution of intelligence to this article).

3. Different rankings

The first author refers to the person whose signature ranks first. Some articles have two or more first authors, which are called tied first authors. In this case, it is generally necessary to indicate the name of the person.
