Zotero publisher in author field

[beth-german]

Expected behavior

When add a catalog record to a Zotero library, the publisher is only in the publisher field.

Actual behavior

Publisher is in the author field.

Steps to replicate

1. Add catalog record to zotero library via extension
2. Check the record in zotero

Impact of this bug

Need to manually update field.

Acceptance criteria

• [ ] Since we do not currently know whether this behavior is needed for Aeon (see comments), we should change the behavior only for Zotero, not for Aeon

Implementation notes, if any

From website feedback form: When you are looking at the record of an item and click for zotero to import the item to your citation library, the zotero software thinks the location is an author. This never used to happen with the old system.

A note for anybody who wants to implement this I believe this test and this code are why publishers are being included as corporate authors.

I believe it came from the code that created OpenURLs for aeon, and removing it here would remove it for both Zotero and Aeon. So we should probably check that Aeon doesn't need it before removing it for both.

@ellen-aa and @caroldh , how would you prioritize this one?

@sandbergja will check with public services about whether they need the aucorp field for Aeon

ever since the update of the catalog, the zotero plugin for safari imports the book publisher as the author - presumably because the field is called "published", rather than "publisher" - fixing this would save me, and many other researchers working with zotero a great deal of effort which now has to be invested in fixing flawed citations. thank you so much for your help!
