Following on from this question, I'm really curious to know about the logistics of large scale collaborations when it comes to publishing a paper that everyone has some contribution to.
To summarise, the recently published paper on the detection of gravitational waves had an author list with over 1000 names and 133 institutions. The sheer number of people involved would make publishing a single paper somewhat less straightforward than, say, a small research group based at a single institution.
So, to my questions:
What were the logistical challenges of having over 1000 authors/collaborators when it came to publishing a single paper?
How were these challenges overcome?
I want to make this question as specific and answerable as possible, so please edit this question as appropriate.
