+===Authorship===
+| Scientific Publications: The currency of Science  | The scientific paper appearing in a peer-reviewed publication is the "currency" of science.  |
+| Date of publication, reception, acceptance  | In addition to having a particular date of publication, many journals publish the date a paper was first received by the editors, before the revies and revision process started.  |
+| Ethics - Misaccreditation (plagiarism)  | It is unethical to repeat verbatim from another author without proper accreditation. \\ It is unethical to accredit oneself with work done by others.  |
+| First author  | This is the main author of the paper, that is, the person who: \\ - is the driving force behind the work presented \\ - is the author of the ideas presented in the paper  \\ - did most of the work and implementation \\ Ideally it is also the person who wrote most of the paper.  |
+| Reality  | First author is often a professor who sticks their name on every paper published by a laboratory or department or group.  |
+| Second author  | This is the "second person in command" for the work presented in the paper, that is whoever.  |
+| Third, fourth, fifth, etc. author  | Typically a list of people who did some of the work; sometimes these are also people who had a hand in the writing of the paper, but very often they are not (mostly for practical reasons)  |
+| Extremely long authorship lists  | Becoming increasingly common in group projects  |
+| Last author  | Increasingly advisors/professors are putting themselves at the end of the authors' list on papers describing the work of their students  |
+| Acknowledgment vs. author?  | If a person is not the authors' list (for whatever reason) but contributed something to the work, it is customary to put in a thank-you note in the Acknowledgment section  |
