Abstract

[Purpose/significance] Taking Library and Information Service as an example, the paper explores the relationship between the author contribution factors and article author order. It can promote the construction of the author contribution statement policy and provide a new direction for the academic evaluation based on the content of the literature.[Method/process] The paper standardized author contribution statements of the Library and Information Service, and summarized 29 author contribution factors, then explored the rules of the author contribution factors in different author positions and the distribution of the author contribution factors.[Result/conclusion] After analysis, it is found that the first authors play decisive roles, the second authors play synergistic roles, and the third and fourth authors play supporting roles, the correspondence authors play perfect roles. With the decrease of the author's signature position, the author's contribution is more and more dispersed. The more the author involved in writing papers, the signature ranking may have more chance to be in the front. Then the paper puts forward four points:the author contribution factors are concentrated; therefore, a vocabulary can be carried on to develop the standardized control; the difference of importance is big, and different weight can be given to the contribution factors; by setting different levels according to the weight, a factor system can be established. The author's practical contribution should be analyzed to help the academic evaluation.
