The recognition of the first author and correspondent at home and abroad is different.

First of all, in China, many domestic professional title evaluations explicitly require applicants to publish articles as the first author. Therefore, the first author has the highest recognition and the highest gold content in China, followed by the correspondent author. The situation abroad is different. Foreign journals generally attach more importance to the correspondent, and the first author is also recognized. The specific requirements depend on the specific publication.

How people want to be the first author when browsing periodicals and evaluating professional titles. Because the first author has made the greatest contribution to innovative scientific research achievements.

At the same time, the chain effect and effect are also the most. Of course, we should clarify the relationship with the correspondent, the second author and the third author, as well as the issue of the right of signature.

Interpretation of the first author's entry:

On the signature of innovative works, such as scientific research papers, patents, research reports, etc. The name of the person who has made the greatest contribution to the work is usually signed at the front.

Especially for the signature of scientific research papers, each journal has more detailed regulations; However, when the paper signature is used to evaluate the professional title, the weight of the first author is obviously heavier than that of the second and third source authors, but lighter than that of the single signature.

Due to the complexity and diversity of scientific research, for example, hundreds of people sign a paper in bioinformatics. 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.

On the other hand, the first author is different from a correspondent and creative contribution. Journalists are usually the most authoritative authors in the field of this newspaper.
