Instructions for Author Name Change Requests

Authors seeking to change their name on their published article may submit a request directly to the journals’ publisher, Wolters Kluwer, by contacting the following person, as appropriate:

Neurology

Jessica Heise, Senior Journal Production Editor (jessica.heise@wolterskluwer.com)

Neurology: Clinical Practice, Neurology: Genetics, and Neurology: Neuroimmunology & Neuroinflammation

Emily Moore, Journal Production Editor (emily.moore@wolterskluwer.com)

Wolters Kluwer, on behalf of Neurology, will update and replace the article, the article metadata, and the applicable issue’s table of contents. A footnote will be added to the replacement article to notify readers of a change to the byline, but will not specify the details of the change. A replacement article and article metadata will also be redelivered to indexing services (e.g., PubMed and Web of Science).

Please follow these instructions to assist in swiftly changing your name on your published article.

1. Compile the Necessary Information

Name
Determine exactly how your name will appear (e.g. given name, surname, postnominal letters, etc.).

ORCID iD

If you have not already registered for an ORCID iD, please do so at https://orcid.org/register. An ORCID iD is a free, unique, person identifier that disambiguates you and your work, even from others who share your name. Find more information about ORCID and the ORCID iD at https://info.orcid.org/what-is-orcid/.

Article Citation or DOI

Know the full citations or DOIs of all articles that require the name change.
