The title of the news article of Nature has a line- "By Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven", and then under it named the authorIngrid Harvold Kvangraven. This repeating appears to be peculiar to me.

I guess that "By Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven" in the subtitle the author probably means "(the analysis is read) By Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven." Am I on the right track?

Post-pandemic economic overhaul will take more than tweaks
As COVID-19 exacerbates inequalities, Thomas Piketty’s analysis reads as timely, but inadequate. By Ingrid Harvold Kvangraven.

Is the subtitle written by editors?
 
Did you notice that the second mention of her name (in example 1) is in blue, underlined and has an envelope next to it? It's a hyperlink to email her. The first mention of her name is in a larger font, right next to the title of the article, and is as prominent as the title. In my opinion, that's to make sure that anyone reading the article and, more importantly, anyone quoting from it, can't possibly miss the name of the author.

It's the equivalent of writing this:


BOOK REVIEW APRIL 2020 blah blah blah. By Ingrid Kvangraven.

Right. The line with "By" and the writer's name is (surprise) the byline. It tells us who wrote the article.

The name in blue is a link to information about the author.
