01

Before acceptance

—  As stated in the Publication Ethics statement, no author names can be added after submission.

—  To remove an author or to change the order of authors, the corresponding author emails the editor with the current and the proposed author list and the reason for the change.

—  All authors, including any author who would be removed, agree in writing.

—  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.
