再说说杨振宁和李政道的论文署名之争

9 12 2009年

    前面说到,自1952年到1962年,杨振宁和李政道两人一起发表了23篇论文(不包括有第三者的论文),除了第一篇杨排第一,其他22篇全都是李排第一。很多人没有注意到,他们的第一篇和第二篇论文是在同一期Physical Review (1 August 1952, Volume 87, Issue 3)杂志上紧挨着发表的。也就是说,同一期杂志发表了他们的两篇论文,杨要求两人各在其中一篇排第一,这个要求我看一点也不过分。

    同一期的杂志还有36篇两个或两个以上作者的论文,其中有16篇没有按作者姓氏首字母的顺序排列。可见在当时,在Physical Review上,不存在李政道所说的“按作者姓氏首字母的顺序排列”这一“国际惯例”,李政道因为杨振宁要求一篇论文的署名不遵守“国际惯例”,就对他心怀不满,真是一点道理也没有。

    这一期杂志不按“国际惯例”排名的16篇论文如下:
