Mark Lewis: Authorship sequence is broken
Mark Lewis retweeted Scientists Who Lift’s post, adding:
“Authorship sequence is broken.
The first author/senior author bookends tend not to fairly order the proportionate contribution to the manuscript.
The most work I’ve ever done on a single paper earned me second place in a list of seven. ”
Quoting Scientists Who Lift’s post:
“What unpopular academic opinion would get you in this situation? (the photo)”
