Attribution for Deceased Authors
August 1, 2007
Can anyone tell me whether there is a convention governing
authors who have died between submission of a paper and publication? Do you
describe them as 'formerly of....(the address given when the paper was
submitted)' or put simply put 'deceased' against their name?

At International
Psychogeriatrics, when this happened, we put an asterisk and then a
footnote saying that the author had died on a particular date.

In our journal, we keep the address and add “deceased.”
