Changes in authorship
Changes in authorship
Cochrane=
=E2=80=99s editorial and publishing policies can now be found on the Cochra=
ne Library Editorial pol=
icies page. Cochr=
ane authors and editorial teams should refer to the Cochrane Library as the=
primary source of information on this policy. For editorial guidance on po=
licies the EPPR remains the primary location. |
Key points
- Authors have complete autonomy to change the author byline.
- Cochrane adheres to the Committee for Publication Ethics (COPE) guidanc=
e, which says all authors should confirm they agree with=
changes to the byline in writing.
- Agreement is recorded through signatures on a Changes of Authorship for=
m, available to download from within our Authorship policy.
- Authors will need to complete the form and collect signatures fro=
m previous and current authors to show they have agreed to this change.&nbs=
p;
- It is the authors' responsibility to confirm all authors agree with cha=
nges. Cochrane cannot mediate in authorship disputes.
Post-publication, including during authoring phase
- Cochrane authors must complete a=
signed Changes of Authorship form when t=
hey add, remove, or re-order authors on their byline. This applies after pu=
blication and to reviews or updates, whose authorship has changed since the=
previous published protocol or review version, respectively. <=
/li>
- Requests to change bylines before submission, can go to Cochrane groups=
or to Cochrane Support.
- If changes are made before=
submission, authors should submit a completed Changes of Authorship form f=
or editorial assessment with their next submission.
- The only point at which written agreement is not required for byline ch=
anges, is before the first submission of a draft protocol (at this point, t=
here is neither a submission or publication on record).
Pre-publicati=
on after submission
- Authors requesting a change in authorship (modify the order, remove, or=
add an author) after they have submitted their article must send a complet=
ed Changes in Authorship form to the editor han=
dling their article.
- Requests to change bylines after submission, should go to the Managing =
Editor.
Changes in authorship where a new protocol supersedes a =
published review
- If authors are proposing to supersede a published review with a new pro=
tocol, with byline changes, they will need to contact the authors of the la=
test published version to invite them to join their team; or to seek agreem=
ent to a new team updating their review topic with a new protocol. They wil=
l need to attach a copy of this correspondence when submitting their update=
proposal. This also applies to pre-approved proposals submitted by groups,=
where a published review will be superseded by a new protocol, and the byl=
ine has changed. This guidance is reflected in our author i=
nstructions on submitting to Editorial Manager and ins=
tructions on submitting pre-approved proposals (for group staff on=
ly). For new protocols, in cases of disputes, Cochrane=E2=80=99s Edit=
or in Chief, or designated deputy, in its sole discretion, or jointly with =
the relevant Cochrane group (when applicable), will make a final decision o=
n the author team.
