Affiliations

Articles should include a full list of the current institutional affiliations of all authors, both academic and corporate, and all author e-mail addresses listed should be correct to the best of the authors’ knowledge. We also encourage authors to provide ORCID identifiers for each named author on submission. If a researcher is not affiliated to an institution or company, they can list themselves as “independent researcher”.

Corresponding Authors must check their affiliation information is correct both on the submission system and in the manuscript, as institutions cannot be changed or removed after the article has been accepted. Additional affiliations can be added, however these will be added as a footnote rather than in the header information of the article.

Authors may use the Acknowledgements section of their paper to further clarify if some or all of the work was conducted at one or more different institutions.
