Quality of Venues: Conferences are usually considered more prestigious than journals in the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) discipline. The top two conferences in this area are CHI and CSCW. In the ICTD field, the top conferences are ICTD, COMPASS (DEV), and LIMITS. [See Google ranking for HCI venues]
Authorship order: the first author is usually the person who leads the project and writing, the last author performs a supervisory role, and the other authors make important and non-trivial contributions to the paper. Students and junior members of the team are often put as the first author of the paper following the culture of the discipline.
