Key points
- Authors have complete autonomy to change the author byline.
- Cochrane adheres to the Committee for Publication Ethics (COPE) guidance, 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 form, available to download from within our Authorship policy.
- Authors will need to complete the form and collect signatures from previous and current authors to show they have agreed to this change.
- It is the authors' responsibility to confirm all authors agree with changes. Cochrane cannot mediate in authorship disputes.
