Abstract

This paper addresses the contentious issue of author ordering in scientific publications. The authors propose AMOR, a probabilistic system that randomly shuffles the author list each time a paper is viewed, eliminating distinctions such as co-first or co-middle authorship. The system claims to resolve both the author ordering problem and the ambiguous author ordering citation problem simultaneously.
