[Sigmetrics] Chinese versus US article output?

[David Wojick]

I think the boss is always in last place and the primary researcher or researchers come first. My point was that the method that includes all authors will include the mentors, such as the thesis adviser or project director. However, only including the first author will undercount those cases where several people did the research.
