: Sorry, but I think this would rarely be used.//Just goes to show that Google hits are not a reliable index of usage within a given context.

: I just want to say that I think for scientific papers where there are multiple authors, this term is used more widely, and it appears to be used in contract language. If the asker had given us more context it would have helped (what else is new!?)...

Anton Baer
: Context -- if two authors provide, independently, sections to a book or work, I think they are then joint authors. If they each revise each other's contribution, they are co-authors.

I just want to point out that there are 41 million hits on Google for co-author versus only about 1.5 million for joint author. You often hear of a paper being "jointly authored by someone" but if you identify someone who as written a work with another author, co-author is the most widely used term.
