Before acceptance

1.  The corresponding author emails the editor with the current and the proposed author list, the reason for the change, and the CRediT roles of any author who would be added.

2.  All authors, including any author who would be added or removed, agree in writing.

3.  The editor decides within 14 days. The review or production may be paused while the request is assessed.

02

After acceptance

Changes are allowed only in exceptional circumstances and need the approval of the Editor-in-Chief.

03

After publication

—  A change is made only through a corrigendum, with the agreement of all authors. The article is never changed silently. See Correction, Retraction and Withdrawal.

—  A change of name for personal reasons can be made discreetly.

—  If an authorship problem is linked to misconduct or to doubts about the reliability of the work, the journal may act under the Research Misconduct policy.

04

Disputes

—  The editors do not decide who deserves authorship, because the institutions of the authors are better placed to examine the evidence.

—  If the authors cannot agree, the editor pauses the process, refers the case to the institutions of the authors, and acts on their findings, following the relevant COPE guidance.

—  Naming a person as an author without that person’s consent is handled under Research Misconduct. See Authorship Policy for the criteria.
