Author roles

Érudit allows authors to be assigned a role.

Author

Production staff

Érudit

• As QC staff, I want to be able to see any role assigned to an author so that I can check that this information is correct.
• As QC staff, I want to be able to edit the role for an author so that I can correct any errors.
• As QC staff, I want to be able to add a role from an author so that I can include missing information.
• As QC staff, I want to be able to remove a role from an author so that I can correct any errors.

But what if . . . ?

Considerations

• Érudit requires this for authors.
• eLife only requires this for non-author contributors (see https://github.com/libero/producer/issues/59).
