[Sigmetrics] Chinese versus US article output?

Sat Oct 17 11:59:15 EDT 2015

Not everybody is as lucky as mr. G. Aad, he is nearly always the first author on publications from the ATLAS project at CERN. Leaving another 5000+ coauthors in the limelight.

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.

I read in someplace about the assumption of the first author could be a mentor depends which knowledge area is studied. In some areas, like biomedicine and genomics, is usual put the "boss" in last place.
is it right?

Both methods have their merits. The difference may be a measure of collaboration or mentoring. The first author method may tell us more about who is doing research.

It should regards the primary affiliation country of the first author.

Papers with authors from both countries will be counted for both columns.

Does anyone know how the determination was made to include articles in one column or the other?  What happens with articles by authors in both China and the US?

I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it, but there has been a concerted effort to add more Chinese content to both WoS and Scopus in the past few years. Perhaps using CNKI for China would be better?  But then what would you use for the US?
