Install this as a "generic" plugin in OJS or OMP. The preferred installation method is through the Plugin Gallery. To install manually via the filesystem, extract the contents of this archive to a authorRequirements directory under plugins/generic in your OJS or OMP root.
The plugin allows certain author fields that are normally required to be optional. Optional fields may be selected on the plugin settings page. Currently, author emails are the only field that can be made optional using this plugin. Others may be added in the future.
The plugin makes it possible to add an author to a list of contributors without using certain required fields (e.g. email). This is useful in cases where required information does not exist for authors.
