We are writing to request the addition of [Insert New Authors‘ Name and Affiliation] to the authorship list of this article.

We authorize the JoSS editorial staff to make this change to our paper as published, which we understand will be published as an announcement via a formal Corrigendum.

 

Sincerely,
