I'm about to submit a paper to IEE Access. Since the journal requires author bios at the end of the paper, I have added all the bio information of co-authors. However, when I was preparing the submission, the submission system (manuscriptcentral) asked me to submit a separate file for the author bios (see attached figure).enter image description here

It seems strange to me because the author bios are already added to the paper, and I think the system is going to combine submitted PDF files in a unique one, which will duplicate the author information.

Have you ever experienced that, and how do you solve it? Thanks.
