The correspondent is the person in charge of the article, and the first author is the executor of the article, so it can't be universal.

Correspondents usually refer to the chief person in charge of the project, who is responsible for the funding and design of the project, the writing and checking of the article, and is fully responsible for the authenticity of the content of the paper, the reliability of the data, the credibility of the conclusion, and whether it conforms to legal norms, academic norms and moral norms. Theses written by graduate students are generally written by tutors as communication authors.
