When you judge the CV of an early career researcher, is there an ideal range of 1st author vs co-author publications? Which ratios are bad?
I've seen examples of first author gifting quite a few times. Obviously not going say examples as I'm not interested in shaming anybody.

Strange pre-occupation with number of papers. So many uncontrollable factors that lead to few or many publications especially during PhD...
-
Oh indeed. I wish people looked past what others have looked past in me. I would not be where I am or have the history I have had without
-
some people being able to understand why I have certain missing skills and certain extremely well-calibrated skills.
-
Obviously, if certain other people were better at their job I would not have had the many health and other problems I have had.

In past I've worked at places which ignored my complains about sexual harassment/assault for example. Thankfully where I am now they do not.

These extraneous factors undermine students and invariable affect their professional performance.

You're right. I was thinking entirely about accusations that a student's work is actually the PI's. Your example's probably more common.
-
I'm confused what the diff between what we thought is? [sorry!]
-
Some discount a student's 1st authorship by saying their PI probably "did all the work" (especially with with a famous PI)
-
I was arguing that most PIs are too selfish to gift their own authorship. And incentives are not good.
-
I saw your argument that some student 1st authorship is seen as not deserved because it should actually belong to another student.
-
No. OK, I see your point. My point was NOTHING to do with deserving. I am just saying that some PIs genuinely help their students.
-
I don't mean this to devalue anybody! I'm saying that PIs exist who are nice & promote their students & gift 1st author to students.
-
I have seen students do very little work because they are still learning and still developing their skills and they get gifted 1st author.
