I remember (this would have been in the 90s) my father getting crap from his peers because he listed his grad students before himself on research papers.
In his words, "Why would I not? They did most of the work."
- gwd 5y agoThat must depend on the field. In my field (operating systems), the primary professor was always listed last; so you knew the first author was the grad student who did the most work, and the last author was the prof who oversaw the whole thing.
