In astroparticle physics, hadron physics, nuclear physics and particle physics it is common practice to name authors in alphabetical order. It is possible to highlight extensive contributions by individual authors, especially early career researchers, by means of first authorships. However, there are no overarching regulations as to whether or how the relative contributions of the authors are to be identified. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Experimental research in these fields is largely organised in international consortia that plan, develop, build and operate the complex experiments and observatories as well as analysing the resulting data. This work is carried out in large teams (\u201ccollaborations\u201d) consisting of between a few tens and several thousands of researchers over periods of years to several decades. Contributions by individual collaboration members are essential to success \u2013 regardless of whether their work involved writing the published text, analysing the data, running the experiment, constructing and calibrating the detectors or other tasks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So in experiments organised in this way, all collaboration members are usually listed as authors, normally in strict alphabetical order. In such cases, special contributions are not identified based on first or last authorship. Individual collaborations define the exact rules for author selection; these rules may differ in detail (e.g. waiting period after admission of new members to the collaboration), but the aim is always to ensure that all authors have made identifiable contributions to the output of the research and that authorship is guaranteed for all contributions to a publication. Here, again, there are no overarching rules as to whether or how the leading authors of individual publications are to be identified. In some cases this is done by naming them as \u201ccorresponding authors\u201d, but this neither provides a complete picture nor is it common practice. For this reason, it is customary for authors to specifically describe the main direct contributions they have made to individual publications when drawing up applications or proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n
