- egjerlow 10y agoFrom my experiences in astrophysics: Second author is supervisor, third, fourth, etc. are previous collaborators of supervisor that somehow have some 'moral' claim to supervisor's work because it remotely thematically touches upon previous work they did, and thus have provided 'inspiration' for the current work. It's a racket ;)
- contergan 10y agoWell, somehow that tax payer money has to be put to use. I love the rare Pepe collection at the end of this paper.

- pmyteh 10y agoTwo people collected the data, two did the analysis and wrote the paper, three helped a bit, one got the grant which funded the lab. Or something similar. The incentives for giving credit to everyone who participated even a bit are quite strong: in most academic disciplines you get more than an eighth of a paper's worth of 'credit' for an eight-author paper.

- mafribe 10y agoIt's quite popular in the NGO/SJW world to do informal "manus manum lavat" deals to gain credibility: you help us with our current campaign, we put your name on our future publications.
- Millennium 10y agoFour people to study /pol/ in depth, and four people to be the trauma therapists keeping them sane.
