Dear All,
many times by reviewing applicants CVs I am reading their scientific activity, however I am not sure about one information. I am asking about the special information in applicants CVs = Authors total IF sum over his scientific carrier. How is counted total IF sum for author XX?
Example: Author XX has published 3 articles as a first author in 3 journals with diff. IFs (e.g. 2, 1, 3). However, he (XX) has been mentioned as a co-author in the papers from YY/ZZ/MM author/s in e.g. 3 other journals with dif. IFs. (e.g. 2, 4, 6)
The total IF sum for XX author is? ....... does he received always full IF value of journal as a 1st author as well as only co-author? Or as co-author receive he just 50%, 25% of journals IF value? How their counts the total sum of theirs IF over carrier?
Thank you for any reply!
Best regards.

As a solution to this I've seen institutions provide candidates with their own form for the candidate to complete. The form is a spreadsheet that spilts the papers into first author, last author and other coauthor as well as reporting the aggregate IF.

Very much valid question....but it seems that, lots of academic institutes just do not pay attention to the question of First author's and corresponding authors contributions separately from the other co-authors .......
There should be one identical evaluation platform...
I agree with the opinions mentioned above; there is a difference between a single author article and the last from a list of more than 50 authors.
