The names of all contributing authors should be added to the Scholar One submission; please list them in the order in which you’d like them to be published. Each contributing author will need their own Scholar One author account, from which we will extract the following details:

Author name. We will reproduce it exactly, so any middle names and/or initials they want featured must be included.

Author affiliation. This should be where they were based when the research for the paper was conducted.

In multi-authored papers, it’s important that ALL authors that have made a significant contribution to the paper are listed.
