In most cases, there is a conflict among the authors about their position and role in the article. Recently, many journals specify the authors contribution with their position. Usually the PI, Lab Head, Project Leader will act as corresponding author.
Now, what is your opinion dear fellow/peers about the authorship and contributors of the article.
Do you think any authors number limit for popular cited articles?? All co author will benefits from the citation similarly? How a first author will benefits more than the citation in such case?
yes all authors will have the same citation but the first author name will be more visible and normally rewritten (at least his family name, the co-authore will called et al) in the other paper, the corresponding author will be contact in the future about the published paper
Dear Aniruddha Sarker
for the sake of science evaluation transparency each author should declare percentage contribution to a given article. Then the citation count and the other scientometric metrics should be calculated as weighted ones. Then the order of author names doesn't matter and can be alphabetical.
no in general... in the paper the corresponding author, whatever he or she is, should be indicated.
Usually, the authors are ordered alphabetically and they equally benefit from citations. But they can agree to the order of them in any way they prefered. Correspondence author is responsible to communicate with journal.

Simply, the author who conduct the experiments and wrote the manuscript should be 1st author, the group leader (prof) who revised and discussed the findings might be corresponding author, the reset are those contributed somehow to the work.
I agree with Sir Hany Kasban. First author have more visibility however some journals show "ALL THE AUTHORS CONTRIBUTED EQUALLY"
the first author is the important person , almost 90% of the article done by him/her
