Hi!
I am writing a review article about a topic in organic chemistry. I'm disappointed that I'm the 3rd author on the paper, but we all contributed equally to it. I asked my supervisor if he was going to write the sentence we often see in biology articles ("These authors contributed equally to this work"), but he said "this isn't done much in chemistry, so the answer is no".
Have you seen this sentence in chemistry papers? Which ones?
BTW, I wish that you guys will debate about this topic, because there needs to be a change in mentality. Why do biologists write this little extra line in the text if it's not to make it more equal?
Thanks in advance
