Changing the authors or author order on a submission

If you need to add, remove, or re-order the authors on a manuscript — or change which author is the corresponding author — this is handled through a formal author-change request in our publishing system at https://advances.pub.

How to request a change

1. Sign in at https://advances.pub.
2. Open your manuscript and submit an author-change request from there, setting out the proposed author list and order and the reason for the change.

Consent from all original authors

Because authorship is part of the academic record, every author on the original submission must consent to the change. The change is applied only once all of them have agreed; until then the request stays open.

If you have questions about a request, contact [email protected].
