The add-author functionality depends on your project. The principle is the same throughout STaRS, but the details differ. If your project is NCS, follow these steps to add authors.
1. Click the Proposed Authorship tab.
2. Click the Name dropdown and select the author from the list.
3. Click Add Co-Author. The selected name will be added to the list of Co-Authors / Collaborators.
4. Repeat the process as many times as necessary.
If the desired name is not in the list,
1. In the Name dropdown choose Add New. The Add New form will appear.
2. In the Name field of the new form select Add New again.
3. Fill out the required fields: Name, Institution, and Email. Provide a telephone number if known (not required).
4. Click Add Co-Author. The new name will be added to the list of Co-Authors / Collaborators.
5. Repeat the process as many times as necessary.
The new names are added to the list of Co-Authors
/ Collaborators. If a name is added in error, click on the delete
symbol (
). A prompt will ask for confirmation. Click
Cancel to keep the name; OK to delete it.
If your project is NCS you may not edit an author's information. If that is necessary, contact NCS Support Desk at 888-395-3932 or send e-mail to NCSSUPPORTDESK@Westat.com to update the information.
You will also have to contact NCS Support Desk if the list of available coauthor names must be supplemented.
