When submitting a research paper to a conference, authors often collaborate with multiple researchers. PeerSubmit allows authors to easily add co-authors during the submission process so that every contributor receives proper recognition for the research.

The platform provides a dedicated step in the submission workflow where authors can enter the details of all contributors, including the primary author and additional co-authors.

Step 1: Open the Author Details Section

During the submission process, authors will reach the Author & Co-author Details step after selecting the conference track.

• Enter the primary author information.
• Provide contact details and affiliation.
• Ensure the primary author is correctly identified.

The primary author will usually receive all communication related to the submission.

Step 2: Add Additional Co-authors

Authors can add multiple collaborators by clicking the option to add another author.

• Click the Add Author or Add Co-author button.
• Enter the co-author’s full name.
• Provide their institution or affiliation.
• Add their email address if required.

This process can be repeated until all contributors to the research paper have been added.

Step 3: Verify Author Order

In many academic disciplines, the order of authors is important because it represents the level of contribution to the research.

• Ensure the primary author appears first.
• Review the order of all co-authors.
• Confirm that names and affiliations are correct.

Accurate author information helps maintain proper attribution in conference proceedings and publications.

Best Practices for Adding Co-authors

When adding co-authors to a submission, it is recommended to follow these best practices.

• Add all contributors who participated in the research.
• Verify spelling of names and institutional affiliations.
• Confirm the correct author order before submitting.
• Ensure the primary author’s email address is correct for communication.

Properly listing co-authors ensures transparency, recognition, and accurate records in conference submissions.

Next Step

After adding all authors and co-authors, the next step is to provide manuscript details such as the paper title, abstract, keywords, and upload the research file.
