Dec 7, 2014 at 16:34 comment added mako @aeismail: At least across all fields, I think usually is a bit strong. The meaning of the term "corresponding author" was discussed in some depth in this question.
Dec 7, 2014 at 11:05 comment added jakebeal @aeismail Often, but not always: I have certainly seen students listed as corresponding author when it is more the students' project or when they are senior and planning to carry the project to their next post.
