For Editors
Currently in Archie/RevMan, the group author name will need an affiliation and a licence for publication form. Managing Editors should assign the Contact Person’s affiliation for the group name, ask the Contact Person to complete the licence for publication form for the group name but not to complete a declarations of interest form for the group name. All authors cited in the group name will receive individual licence for publication and declarations of interest forms.

Two or more authors may agreed to have contributed equally to a review and wish to share the position of first author in the byline.
Implementation guidance
Joint first authors are assigned by adding a footnote in RevMan. To add the footnote, open the review in RevMan, click on the Content Pane > Review information > Authors. Double-click on the authors in question and insert “These authors contributed equally to this work†in the Footnote field at the bottom of the author’s contact details.
...
Authors may have more than one affiliation and affiliations may change during the preparation of a Cochrane Review (or other article published in the CDSR). If an affiliation changes during the preparation of the Cochrane Review, list both past and current affiliation(s), and add a footnote to clarify the change.
