About Author Orders

In most of the papers from our group, the student authors are listed first and then the professors. The students are often sorted by their contributions, where equal contributors are sorted alphabetically and marked with "#". The sorting methods of the professors vary, sometimes by contribution and sometimes by seniority, but the one with the most contribution usually serves as the corresponding author (typical in China), and denoted with "*".
