Details/Author cluster

The Author cluster in the Details page includes:

• Corresponding author: The corresponding author or main author of the publication. Only one Corresponding Author can be chosen among the "First Author" or the "Co-Authors" by clicking on the envelope symbol.

• Co-Authors: Co-Authors of the publication can be added by clicking on the “Add Co-Authors” button. In case the Co-Author is not in the MEL database, add it by choosing the “+” symbol. The module also allows to drag and drop the name to change a different order of authors.
