theme doesn't respect "omit author names" decision from journal section #46

In journal section metadata, there's a qualifier to omit the author name from a journal section. This is, by an large, a workaround for journals publishing articles that don't have "an author". Stuff like errata or abstracts collections or any other number of things. These are usually uploaded by managing editors or other journal staff who are also authors of legitimate materials.

This is from 3.x and up.

The immersion theme displays these author names even if the radial to not display them is selected.

You can find the relevant setting in Journal>Sections>Edit>Omit Author from Journal section...

I'd add that this should also omit the author from citations, the article landing page, and any other associated metadata. But even better, it should be possible to just not have an author. :)

Turns out this is global and not just Immersion-related.
