Author Name Changes

We will accommodate requests for name changes at any time and for any reason, including changes to gender identity, marriage, divorce, religion, or other personal circumstances. Changes will be made to any RUP articles authored by the requesting individual and will include HTML, PDF, and associated metadata. Changes will be directly and immediately pushed to Crossref, PubMed, and PMC. Names will also be updated in RUP submission, production, and subscription systems as needed. Previous versions of the article are retained on our servers for record keeping purposes but will not be publicly accessible. Changes will not be made to citations or reference lists.

Unless instructed otherwise, requests will be managed confidentially. We will not issue a formal correction and we will not notify co-authors of name changes except if explicitly requested.

Authors are encouraged to update the name in their ORCID record to help ensure that the correct name is associated with their published research. If published articles associated with the name change do not include their ORCID iD, we will add one upon request. More information about ORCID is available at https://orcid.org.

To request the change, please complete this form and email it to [email protected].
