Hi German,
By principle the first author of a research paper should be the main researcher who conducted the lab work.
The supervisor and/or lab head can be the contact author.
Cordially
The first author should be compulsory the one who write the paper or the main researcher who conducted the project.
Siempre el primer autor debe ser el que escribió mayormente la tesis o artículo y que desarrollo en mayor parte la investigación. Depende del gremio (Odontologia por ejemplo=, yo se que se pretende que el principal autor no sea el primero y que el primero sea el tutor o jefe del laboratorio, lo cual es intolerable.
To my experience, the person whose contribution in that particular research is maximum, should be the first author and depending on the contributions, other authors may be listed chronologically with the last person be the supervisor/professor under whom the research is conducted. Best wishes!
Thanks you for your answers many people thinks that the main author should be the chief department and not the person who wrote the paper. This es a simple questions but generate a lot of interrogants diarely.
