How should we decide the corresponding authorship in an article? Is the person
who writes, submits and responds to the reviewers concern deserve to be the
corresponding author or the the person providing the logistic support,
proof reads and receive funding deserve to be the corresponding author.
Since, issue is cryptic and several times we deprive the right of the
student or of the supervisor who actually deserve the right to be the
corresponding author.
I look forward for your valuable comments on this.

Dear Sir,
I believe that one who formulate the idea of research and responsible for it's novelty should be the corresponding author. Obviously that researcher should have experience in handling reviewers comments and can effectively coordinate with the authors to construct/aid in construction of the article.
The researcher responsible for carrying out bulk of the work (lab as well as field works-if it is a technical article) should get the opportunity of 1st authorship according to my judgement.
Thanking you,
Abhiroop
