I like to know the removal, addition and shuffling of co-authors is against moral and ethics in Elsevier Journals. Is it necessary to contact a editor to make such changes
Offcourse You will do it, because While submitting the revised manuscript, please double check the author names provided in the submission so that authorship related changes are made in the revision stage. If your manuscript is accepted, any authorship change will involve approval from co-authors and respective editor handling the submission and this may cause a significant delay in publishing your manuscript.

Removal is not allow but addition of co author are allowed if he or she has participated and contributed in revising the manuscript.
