Thank you Hanlon's Razor perhaps makes sense but it would have been nice for the supervisor to state that they will sort out the double mistake ASAP. Also, it states in the journal guide: ""Only in exceptional circumstances will the Editor consider the addition, deletion or rearrangement of authors after the manuscript has been accepted.", so I don't think it's a good idea to sit this one out until perhaps too late.– Jibbity jobbyCommented Sep 10, 2018 at 23:15

3@JibbityJobby: I agree it would have been nice for him to just do it, but in the big scheme of things, it's really a minor bureaucratic issue, which I think may seem more significant to you because you haven't been through the process so many times. And I would view "corresponding author screwed up the form" as an exceptional circumstance, especially since the discrepancy between form and manuscript will make it clear that something is not right.– Nate EldredgeCommented Sep 10, 2018 at 23:18

1@JibbityJobby: That clause is mean to dissuade people from offering "gift authorship" or renegotiating ordering after the fact. If there was already clear agreement among the authors and it was simply miscommunicated to the journal, the journal has an ethical duty to make it right.– Nate EldredgeCommented Sep 10, 2018 at 23:20

1Honestly, if your prof just messed up because they were busy (likely) they will appreciate you fixing it over you making them do it.– Azor Ahai -him-Commented Sep 10, 2018 at 23:21

OK, my supervisor likes to keep a tight rein. I sent a polite email to them stating that I'll contact the editors tomorrow. If I hear no objections I'll go ahead and let them know. Yes, I'm inexperienced here and your advice has relaxed me. Thanks.– Jibbity jobbyCommented Sep 10, 2018 at 23:22

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
