Assignment of weights to multiple authors of a paper is a challenging task due to its dependence on the conventions that may be different among different fields of research and research groups. In this paper, we describe a scheme for assignment of weights to multiple authors of a paper. In our scheme, weights are assigned in a linearly decreasing/increasing fashion depending upon the weight decrement/increment parameter. We call our scheme Arithmetic: Type-2 scheme as the weights follow an arithmetic series. We analyze the proposed weight assignment scheme and compare it with the existing schemes such as equal, arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic. We argue that the a positional weight assignment scheme, called arithmetic scheme, which we refer to Arithmetic: Type-1 in this paper, and the equal weight assignment scheme can be treated as special cases of the proposed Arithmetic: Type-2 scheme.
