Describe the problem you would like to solve It is a common convention in some disciplines to indicate one or more corresponding authors for a publication. This is especially so for publications with many authors. There is not currently any way to indicate corresponding authors in OJS/OMP/OPS.

Describe the solution you'd like It should be possible to indicate one or more corresponding authors in the publication's contributors section. When designated, a theme should display this contributor's contact details on the article landing page.

Indeed this is necessary.

And not to be confused with the Editorial Primary Contact.
