How do you co-author an article?
Table of Contents
If you and other co-authors agree, list your names alphabetically. Think about who owns the data and the kind of work with which you want your name associated. Make sure that you stipulate that you want to be listed as an author, where you want your name, and what you want credited to you—not anyone else.
How do you indicate co authorship?
Traditionally, co-first authors are indicated by an asterisk and the order of the individuals is the decision of the PI. Once the paper is published, it appears in print as follows: co-Author 1*, co-Author 2*, Author 3, and Author 4.
How to make contact with a potential PhD supervisor?
In most cases, the best way to make first contact with a potential PhD supervisor is by email. This should be a formal email, in many ways similar to an application cover letter. 1. Be aware of email etiquette
Do I need to write a research proposal for a PhD?
For some PhDs, such as pre-set projects, it will not be necessary to write a research proposal at all, as you’ll be applying for a PhD that has already been organised and agreed upon by a funding body. Often, emails to the potential supervisor will lead to a request for a meeting.
Can a PhD student be the corresponding author for their own paper?
Yes. There has been a tradition in the past of having the supervisor be the corresponding author as their address and contact details are more likely to remain stable over time, but if the PhD student has a stable email address, there is no reason that they can’t be corresponding author for their own papers.
Typically, a PhD student that did the majority of the work and wrote up the work will get first author, which is the MOST important thing for the career of PhD students. Whether or not they have a little corresponding author asterisk next to their name doesn’t really matter, to be honest.
