authorship

Hi all, So obviously it's important for medical students to have their names on research publications before applying for residency, and even better if they can be first author on any of them. My question then is as such— I am currently managing a bunch of research projects with other medical...

I am looking for input on if/how I should be listing an in-progress review article in AMCAS Work and Activities section, writing about it in secondaries, etc. Some info: I am 4th author of 8 I created all the figures, did some editing, and filled in holes wherever more information or further...

I know that having a publication looks great when applying to med schools, so I've made this desire clear to my PI. He already turned down one of my ideas for a paper (which was to expand my independent research poster) and gave it to a grad student to publish instead. Fine, I get that there's a...

I am a research assistant for a doctor from a clinic I volunteered at. I was responsible for data collection and organization, and will be listed as a co-author on the abstract. What should my affiliation be listed as, if I need one at all? I am no longer at the clinic and am now attending a...

I am an author in an article that was recently accepted for publication. However, the date of publication is TBD right now. One of my secondaries asks for any updated info and I thought this would be a good one to add. Does anyone know how I can cite this accepted but unpublished article?

Hey everyone! I'm getting my first publication soon (yay!), but I'm very unfamiliar with the "rules" for authorship of a publication. Based on the following list of authors in the manuscript, who is considered to be the "first author" of this paper?

I'm currently helping a graduate student with his BME research project. Since he already had a really solid idea of what kind of work he needed done for the project, I wasn't able to contribute much in that regard. However, a lot of my experiments pertain directly to sections that he'll include...

I'm second author on a poster that has been presented multiple times by its first author. Should I list it on my CV and application? Or is it poor taste? I'm not familiar with the intricacies of research authorships, presentations and such, so if anyone has experience in this area, I would...
