Who's listed first? Considering for Authorship order on a Manuscript

I recently attended a meeting where there was a robust conversation about authorship order. This conversation prompted me to write this blog to provide an overview of authorship order and to review as you consider the authorship order of your team on a manuscript. Generally, authorship order follows the contribution that each team member made to the research and production of the manuscript.

The greater your contribution, the higher your order should be in the list of authors of a manuscript i.e., the researcher that leads the group and has the responsibility for managing the research process and writing related to the research manuscript would most likely be listed as the first author on the paper.

In most academic communities, it is recognized that the first author has done the most work related to the manuscript. The order of authorship for team members depends on how much they contributed to the manuscript.
