The system is programmed so that work needed to add co-authors is automated as part of the submission process. The system emails the co-author to verify co-authorship and handles all processing needing.

It is possible to add co-authors later if circumstances change, such as new authors contributing to the revision, but in that case, you need to do some of the manual work. You will need to contact each co-author and ask them to do two things:

  1. Sign up for an account at http://Join.InformingScience.org and reply to the system-generated verification email.
  2. Each co-author needs to email the Executive Director, Eli Cohen (elicohen@informingscience.org) to manually add the co-author to your paper.

Before you do this, be sure to understand our ethics policy regarding co-authors. It is shown at https://www.informingscience.org/Pages/EthicsPolicy
