Author Format Standardization for DSpace 7.x #6

Closed grwells closed 2 years ago

grwells commented 2 years ago

DSpace 7.x uses a standardized item creation format that is more strict around author name formatting than DSpace 6.x. Currently all CSVs store authors in first-last name format with authors separated by commas.

DSpace 7.x separates authors with semicolons, allowing for author names to be universally formatted in last-first name format.

Testing

Tested and debugged Mendeley and Mendeley Data author output with the new standards. Decided that for sources that do not specify first/last names no changes should be made to the order when formatting for DSpace.
