文章修改阶段或录用后，是否能更改作者？

在文章修改阶段或文章录用后，是否能够添加或者删除某问作者，再或者需要调整作者顺序？

期刊编辑希望作者应在投稿之前仔细考虑作者的名单和顺序，并在第一次投稿时提供最终版的作者名单。一般来说，只能在文章被接受之前，并且在期刊编辑批准的情况下作者才能在作者名单中添加或删除作者，或者修改作者顺序。此时，文章的通讯作者必须向期刊编辑提出更改作者名单的请求。此时，编辑从通讯作者那里收到的信息包括（1）更改作者名单的原因；（2）所有作者的书面确认（电子邮件和信件）。确认他们同意添加或删除作者，或者修改作者顺序。如果是添加或者删除作者，那么还需要被添加或删除的作者的书面确认。

只有在特殊情况下，编辑才会在文章被接受后考虑添加或删除作者，或者修改作者顺序。在编辑考虑通讯作者的请求期间，文章将被暂停出版。如果文章已经在线上发表，那么出版部门会在编辑同意请求的情况下，更正作者名单。

综上，我们可以看出，修改作者名单的过程是比较麻烦的，尤其是文章中录用后，基本是不能修改的。所以，在投稿前，需要反复斟酌作者名单。以下是Elsevier旗下期刊Genomics, Proteomics & Bioinformatics提供的文章投稿后更改作者名单的请求表，供大家了解。
