通讯作者则是本研究的学术指导人或导师,而不是"通讯联系人"。任何非高级职称的作者和研究生都没有资格当通讯作者。研究生导师是研究生论文的当然通讯作者。通讯作者作为研究论文的指导者对选题的先进性、首创性、实验设计和方法的合理性、结论的可信性、严谨性等,以及对发表时署名次序和"一稿一投"等原则负首要责任。由于不直接在第一线操作,通讯作者都对原始数据的真伪虽然负有一定责任,但不能负首要责任。由于分担的责任不同,一般研究论著( orig ina l article)和研究生论文的通讯作者不应兼当第一作者。作为论文的指导者,具有高级技术职称,在单位中有较高而稳定的地位,所以,论文发表之后,读者有质疑或咨询时,首先应该和通讯作者联系反映意见。通讯作者有责任认真回答读者的问题。
Taking the scholarly activities of 73 doctoral program mentors working at the Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences & Peking Union Medical College (the CAMS & PUMC) as a sample of our investigative survey, we tried using such statistical methods as the analysis of variance (ANOVA), factor analysis and correlation analysis to compare the different characteristics of scholarship assessment of Chinese medical scholars as exhibited in their published papers in domestic and foreign journals. Our research findings show that citations per paper and A-index are more suitable for assessing the highly accomplished senior Chinese medical professionals (e.g. academicians) for their domestic and international scholarship attainment. In contrast, the m-quotient is not deemed appropriate to assess their academic influence both at home and abroad. Upon our further analysis of 6 evaluative indicators, we noticed that these indicators might be applied in two different aspects: One is from the viewpoint of Chinese scholars' academic influence at home, which has been evaluated mainly from the perspective of "total" amount and "average" amount of both publications and citations. The other is from their academic impact embodied by the means of documents retrieved from the Web of Science, which is mainly assessed from the two viewpoints of publications and citations. It is suggested that the accumulated time-length of a given scholar's active engagement in professional practice in a specific subject area be taken into consideration while assessing a researcher's performance at home and abroad
