The article images were ignored in the screenreader testing, but are they truly decorative?

This relates to #2825 implementation. But currently the article images are not focusable and so completely ignored. These images are arguably not decorative. Please consider providing alt-text functionality instead.

example https://publications.essex.ac.uk/.

from #4194

Sample 5.3, item 14. article images are ignored as decorative - are they decorative?

This is user-content, which cannot be addressed until the new alt-text functionality is in place, from https://github.com/BirkbeckCTP/janeway/issues/2825
