The biggest name usually gets all the fame on academic work - a "Matthew effect".
Moreover, the last author is usually the most senior person or someone who funded the project; usually perceived as important or more important than the first author who "did all the work".
- justicezyx 9y ago> usually perceived as important or more important than the first author who "did all the work" To be accurate, that person is considered the one who will claim the credit after the student graduates. Not that they are important to the work. Most academic papers are mostly students work under a general instruction from the advisor.
