Abstract

[Purpose/significance] This paper reviews the development vein of the domestic and foreign research literatures about author contribution statements, aiming at providing reference for future research.[Method/process] With the literature research method, the paper investigates the domestic and foreign research literatures about author contribution statements from three angles:current research about author contribution, author contribution factors and the calculation method for author contribution.[Result/conclusion] The results show that the current research about the author contributions statement is relatively limited.According to the selected papers, the domestic research is limited to the basic calculation method for author contribution.While the foreign researchers stand on a higher perspective to study the author contribution factors from the theory and practice, compare and analyze the different calculation methods.The article also suggests that the study of author contributions could focus on two aspects in the future:① Give more attention on the empirical study of author contributions, and explore the commonness and individuality in the development of author contributions;② Summarize the author contribution factors of different disciplines, and make clear of the author contributions factors and the evaluation method of author contribution degree.
