I was recently named as an author in a paper that is going to be published. I worked principally under the postdoc and it was the two of us doing experiments and we finished our project. However we both left the lab before the paper got published and 2 other postdoc and the pi wrote the manuscript which got accepted.
My question is it okay for me to be named as an author on that paper and tell med school about it even though I didn't "write" the paper? Also is there a difference between being listed as third and fourth author?
