Uh, care to explain? I have several colleagues that stopped submitting to journals once they reached full professor. They only submit papers from their students for the benefit of their careers. First-author papers, not so much.
- tacomonstrous 10d agoThe fact that you talk about 'first author' papers in math only reinforces my point. It's not the same culture as other STEM fields.
- hodgehog11 10d agoTouche, I used to work in pure probability where that ridiculous Hardy-Littlewood rule used to cause all sorts of problems, but now work in statistics, where it is no longer an issue. To be clear, the colleagues I am referring to mostly work in math phys. They are sole author papers, but I refer to them as first author, since that is the language I am now accustomed to. And no, the culture in maths vs. theoretical stats is not really that different at the end of the day, and the latter is most assuredly like other STEM fields. I still collaborate on pure math papers (geometric analysis and PDEs mostly) from time to time, and it isn't really a different head space. My name is typically later in the alphabet, so I never even think about the alphabetical ordering.
