Hi, we often have authors only mention one author for multiply-authored submissions, despite instructions to the contrary. So I’d like to change the setup of Step 3 “Entering the Submission’s Metadata”:
Is there a way where we can first prompt the author for how many authors are on the paper, and then have the system display the appropriate number of entry boxes for that number of authors?
This would also have the advantage that the users wouldn’t have to click “Add author” multiple times.
(Right now, the step 3 template displays text boxes for one author, with an “Add Author” button, which seems to cause users to assume they only need to enter their own info, despite our instructions to the contrary.)
