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'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.
-
This isn't a criticism of anybody, just a fact. PIs allow them to be first because why not?
-
If you have trouble understanding this, it might be because it's rare. But I've seen it first hand.
