Inclusively Listing Co-Authors: ScholarOne Manuscript Central

ScholarOne Manuscript Central is a widely used manuscript submission and peer review platform for academic journals. To list all co-authors when submitting a manuscript through ScholarOne Manuscript Central, follow these steps:

1. Log In to Your Account:

   • Access ScholarOne Manuscript Central through the journal's submission website.
   • Log in to your author or corresponding author account. If you don't have an account, you may need to create one.

2. Start a New Submission:

   • Once logged in, you will typically see an option to "Start New Submission" or "Submit a Manuscript." Click on this option to begin the submission process.

3. Select the Manuscript Type:

   • Choose the appropriate manuscript type or category for your submission (e.g., original research article, review, case report).

4. Enter Co-Author Information:

   • As you progress through the submission process, you will reach a section where you can enter co-author information.
   • Typically, you will be asked to provide the following details for each co-author:
     • Full name
     • Affiliation (institution or organization)
     • Email address
     • ORCID iD (if applicable)
   • Depending on the journal's submission system, you may need to add co-authors one by one or use a bulk upload option if available.

5. Specify Co-Author Roles:

   • ScholarOne Manuscript Central often allows you to specify the role of each co-author, such as "Author," "Co-Author," or "Corresponding Author." Indicate the role accordingly.
   • You may also be asked to confirm that all co-authors have read and approved the manuscript.

6. Confirm Co-Authorship Order:

   • Review and confirm the order in which the co-authors will appear on the manuscript. This order can be important, so ensure it accurately reflects the contribution of each co-author.

7. Provide Additional Co-Author Information:

   • Some journals may request additional information about co-authors, such as their contributions to the manuscript or disclosure of any conflicts of interest. Complete these sections as required.

8. Submit Manuscript and Co-Author Information:

   • After entering all co-author information and completing other required sections (such as manuscript files, abstract, keywords, and cover letter), proceed to the submission or final review step.
   • Review all entered co-author details and manuscript information for accuracy.
   • Once you are satisfied with the submission, click the "Submit" or "Finalize Submission" button to send your manuscript and co-author information to the journal's editorial office.

9. Confirmation and Tracking:

   • You will typically receive a confirmation email and a manuscript tracking number after successfully submitting your manuscript and co-author information.

Remember that the specific steps and options may vary slightly depending on the journal and its ScholarOne Manuscript Central configuration. It's important to carefully follow the instructions provided during the submission process and refer to the journal's guidelines for authors for any additional requirements related to co-author information and manuscript submission.
