Describe the problem you would like to solve
Our editors need a way to add authors to a submission. It happens on a regular basis that papers are submitted to our online data journal which result from big international projects. The authors are often many in number - sometimes more than 50. The names are too many to be added by hand.

Describe the solution you’d like
We’d like to add the author names with a script, so an appropriate API would help.

Who is asking for this feature?
Journal Editors

Of course, the API should be properly secured.BTW, we are running OJS version 3.4.0.4 …
