The first author refers to the author who has made the greatest contribution to an academic paper. Usually, the first author is responsible for writing most papers, including experimental design, data analysis and paper writing. And finishing alone means that a person has finished all the work of the whole paper independently, including experiment, data analysis and paper writing.
In academic circles, the influence of the first author and individual completion on paper evaluation is mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Academic contribution: The first author usually contributes the most to the paper because they are responsible for most of the work of the paper. Therefore, when evaluating a paper, the identity of the first author is often given a higher weight. However, due to the lack of support and assistance from collaborators, the paper completed alone may be insufficient in some aspects, thus affecting the overall quality of the paper.
2. Academic reputation: In academic circles, the identity of the first author is often closely related to academic reputation. An excellent first author may get more attention and recognition because of his high-quality research results. However, due to the lack of support from collaborators, the dissemination and influence of the paper may be affected.
3. Academic cooperation: In academic circles, cooperation is very important. Through cooperation with other researchers, we can learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths, thus improving the quality and efficiency of research. However, the paper completed alone may limit the opportunities for communication and cooperation between producers and other researchers to a certain extent.
4. Resource allocation: In academic circles, resource allocation is often closely related to the evaluation and influence of papers. An excellent first author may get more resources for his high-quality research results, such as research funds and experimental equipment. However, the paper completed alone may affect the allocation of resources to some extent.
