Identity and name changes presentation
The document discusses updates from the COPE Working Group regarding author name changes. It provides highlights from forthcoming guidance being drafted around name changes which state that authors can request a name change for any reason, journals should have a central form for requests, and should not require proof of identification or notify co-editors when making the change. It also discusses personal reflections on longer term goals around supporting name changes, including adopting universal identifiers, developing more flexible platforms, and treating name changes as an accessibility issue.

Highlights from forthcomingguidance Drafted by COPE working group and under review (May 2021) • Any author can request a name change for any reason. • Journals/publishers should post a central email address or form where authors can submit requests. • Editors/publishers should not request or require “proof” of identification from authors. • Journals/publishers should change the XML, and both the HTML and PDF versions of articles. • Journals/publishers should make name changes without issuing correction notices, unless specifically requested by authors. • Editors/publishers should limit the number of people involved in name changes. • Publishers should not consult editors or notify co-authors in advance of issuing a name change. • Journals/publishers may wish to use the sample checklist of specific places that may require updating.
