Sci papers are likely to involve a lot of experiments and scientific research, and the writing of articles is also difficult. Many times it is done by teamwork, so it is very common for sci papers to have dozens or even dozens of authors.

The fourth author is still in the forefront of sci papers. Whether it can play a role depends on the specific situation. Most sci journals are most recognized by communication authors and the first author, but it does not mean that the latter author has no recognition at all. In the promotion of domestic professional titles, with the backwardness of the author's status, the bonus points gradually decrease, that is to say, it is not useless, but the bonus points are not as high as the previous author, so the fourth author will definitely be recognized. But the degree of recognition depends on the specific situation, such as the specific provisions of the unit, the level and quality of the publication, the difficulty of the article, etc. If published in one of the best sci journals, the fourth author is certainly recognized.

In fact, it is not easy for most domestic authors to publish sci papers. Even the publication of sci periodicals in four regions is a great recognition, which plays an obvious role in job evaluation and promotion. Of course, it is best for the author to strive for the front position as much as possible. The role of the fourth author and the first author in job evaluation and promotion is definitely different. The above is an introduction to the fourth author of sci paper.
