In mathematics, there usually aren't. One result is that there are many more authors on science papers than on mathematical papers. It's hard to find mathematics papers with 5 or more coauthors, but there are many experimental papers with over 15 authors. In this month's issue of Nature, I count 13, 29 (including a consortium), 1 (consortium), 27, and 26 authors. nature.com/nature/current_issue.html#af Whether you did 1% or 50% matters a lot. | |
