    @HarryWang It's up to the authors.

    @HarryWang To clarify - the authorship order will be determined by the submitter, your choices at that point are to either agree or disagree with publication. The editor is not there to mediate your authorship dispute.

    @HarryWang You'll have to agree as an author with publication (usually after it's accepted). If you disagree it won't be published - the journal will return the manuscript. You can reasonably expect your relationship with the other authors to deteriorate significantly at this point.

    The implication is that every "author" gets a veto, not a vote. But you are encouraged to act as a colleague, not a jerk. And fighting with your doctoral advisor or other PI is not a good path to success.

    The PI closing you out may not violate any legal code, but it is certainly research malpractice and should be condemned.
