User story

Anonymized report from editor:

"I accidentally invited a co-author to review a paper. I feel really embarrassed, but I also think this was a mistake that was very easy to make and could be prevented. I am pretty sure it happened because I didn't realize there were co-authors because the review system only shows the first author, and you have to click on the Editor Assignment to see the full author list. Usually I will see this when I'm assigned a paper at the Unassigned stage, but it's really hard to see after it gets in the Review list, and since the paper was transferred."

Proposed solution

"...I wonder if there is anything that can be done in Janeway, either to give a warning if you try to invite an author of the paper, or to be able to see the full author list more easily when making the assignments."
