Ask an ANA Fellow |
|
This new feature allows young investigators to learn career strategies from senior colleagues in the ANA.
Question: I am a K awardee and have completed a piece of research (not directly related to my K) and have written the first draft of the manuscript. My K mentor approved the design, financially supported this work and critically read the manuscript but another colleague was much more involved in the helping me plan the research design and in extensive data analysis. Who should be senior author? How should I approach this? I completed the study, the analysis and wrote the first draft of the paper. |
