Authors can include more than one corresponding author to an article, but it mostly depends on the journal or publisher guidelines. This paper expands and fortifies that discussion. Yes, articles can be published with more than one corresponding author, but the peer review system can accommodate only one. Within the wider, and important, discussionĪbout authorship, which is one of the most central issues in academic publishing, there has been a limited focus on equally credited authors such as co-first authors, co-corresponding authors and co-supervisors. In sharedĪnd collaborative authorship, there are also shared authorship-related responsibilities, but these are infrequently discussed, or tend to only be dealt with broadly. The current assessment is that there are inconsistent rules for equally credited authors such as co-first authors, co-corresponding authors and co-supervisors.
CORRESPONDING AUTHOR PROFESSIONAL
A corresponding author is a professional in the same field as the research paper. This is done so that the authors can get credit for their work and can receive a good grade fr their work. It is a requirement of the journal to ensure that a paper is published in an appropriate journal. Which can be intellectually or financially “profitable” among academics that game such metrics, are needed. sincerely apologise to readers, reviewers, and editors for this oversight and for any mis-communication. A corresponding author is a necessary part of the research paper publication process. To appreciate authorship responsibilities in this subset of authors, the broader academic authorship literature,Īs well as position statements, rules and guidelines, were consulted.Īcademic publishing that relies on metrics is a global multi-billion-dollar business, so strict measures to assess and confirm authorship, Journal policy allows the listing of only one corresponding author during the submission and publication process a maximum of two are allowed to be listed.

Status and responsibilities of co-first authors and co-corresponding authors. This paper aims to focus on the authorship
CORRESPONDING AUTHOR VERIFICATION
Although fairly robust guidelines have already been in place for a considerable amount of time regarding authorship criteriaĪnd credit, such as those by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors or Contributor Roles Taxonomy, the lack of reliable verification techniques hamper their accuracy, thereby reducing the validity of authorship claims in such statements.

Authorship is the ultimate status of intellectual recognition in academic publishing.
