The corresponding author role may be transferred to another co-author. However, note that transferring the corresponding author role also transfers access to the manuscript.

Only one corresponding author can be designated in the submission system, but this does not restrict the number of authors that may be listed on the article in the event of publication.

But once a paper is selected for publication after blind review process the others articles will not be considered for publication within one year. The author may withdraw the other articles if accepted.
