Hi,
Can a co-author be added as a new Corresponding Author in the proof time?
Can a journal prevent the paper from having two Corresponding Authors?
The journal forces authors to have one CA for a paper. Is it legal?
Any rule?
If there is only one CA for a paper, would be he responsible for future and after publish of the paper?
Corresponding author has responsibility of future of the papers? If no then i agree but if yes, so a corresponding author can add another person to take this responsibility ( a new CA but he is already a Co-author but now he also becomes a CA)
Hello Mehdi Gheisari
My experience is that a co-author cannot be changed to corresponding author at proof time.
There is not a set rule and I am unaware of any legal implications. It seems to me that it is more for administrative purposes.
