Hi @Ph_We
Unfortunately, this is not possible at the moment i.e. the authors data are separated from the users data. Also, we used the names, e-mails and affiliations (maybe even the country) to identify the same authors in OJS 2.4.x (I am not sure if this is still so in OJS 3.x but I think so). Thus, at the moment the editors would have to try to keep the data consistently, although this could also be ‘wrong’ (because, for example, the author affiliation could change). Thus, we are aware of the problem, ant it is not so easy to solve it, but we will work on that (currently having the idea to maybe rely on IDs like ORCID)…
Best,
Bozana
