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 think ratio is irrelevant. I'd mostly be evaluating first author stuff in a trainee because writing papers is so important/difficult

Please be aware that some senior authors don't allow their junior colleagues to write the paper . . . . !

@o_guest@stormpetrel@DrGBuckingham@Research_Tim Mentors owe trainees time & effort to teach them how, if they currently aren't capable!2 replies 3 retweets 5 likes -

Bigger Q though - to hire a postdoc how do you evaluate a CV with no 1st author pubs? Would you be put off or give benefit of doubt?

I had no first author pubs at my first postdoc.

I only had one. But will you give it no weighting as a employer yourself in a few years? Genuinely curious, not prodding for a response

I can't answer what I will do in a few years — but I doubt I'd give anything about an applicant no weight ever.

But I'd probably take a personal recommendation from someone I trust over all other sources of info

I'm not sure about that as I disagree w ppl a lot on judging other's characters. But like I said I'd never weight anything with a perfect 0.
