Adds a numeric field to the submission form to check the expected number of contributors.

Plugin Overview

This plugin enhances the submission workflow by introducing a mandatory author-count selection in the submission form. Authors are required to specify the total number of authors, and the system enforces the completion of author metadata to match the declared number. This ensures completeness, accuracy, and consistency of authorship information at the point of submission.

The plugin is particularly useful for journals that require strict control over authorship data and wish to prevent incomplete or inconsistent author listings.

The latest release of this plugin is compatible with the following PKP applications:

Open Journal Systems (OJS) 3.4.0
