Author Information Form

The Author Information Form asks the Corresponding Author of each manuscript to review and confirm metadata related to the author list, including author names, locations, and any affiliations that will be displayed as part of the published article.

This a critical step in the publication process, because:

• it ensures author details are presented correctly in the manuscript, reducing the need for author interventions at proof stage;
• it offers clear explanations and options regarding open access, to help authors navigate this rapidly changing area; and
• it formally records any changes to authorship, in alignment with our research integrity and publishing ethics policies.

Please note that manuscript production cannot begin until the Author Information Form has been completed.
