Publishing Director (creator role, for book and bookSection) #20

Open rmzelle opened 13 years ago

rmzelle commented 13 years ago

A "Publishing Director" creator role (common in French) should be added to book and bookSection, and mapped to editorial-director in CSL (I'm not sure if there are other item types that could use this role; I don't think this has been discussed).

A forum post suggests that this role should also be available for journalArticle: http://forums.zotero.org/discussion/8565/?Focus=79818#Comment_79818

Where are we with regard to that issue? Will such a change be accepted? Is there a solution currently?

adam3smith commented 11 years ago

the CSL change has been made, the Zotero change will almost certainly be accepted, likely for 4.1

Following this comment, could we tackle the main issue here, i.e. how to handle the coexistence of these Editors roles in English?

I can imagine three solutions:

  1. Add a "Critical Editor" or "Text Editor" label for the "editor" field, mapped to CSL "editor". The "Editor" label would be kept for the "publishing director" field, mapped to CSL "editorial-director".

  2. Add a "Publishing Editor" label for the "publishing director" field, mapped to CSL "editorial-director". The "Editor" label would be kept for the "editor" field, mapped to CSL "editor".

  3. Don't even use the simple and single label of "Editor", and both "Critical Editor"/editor/editor and "Publishing Director/publishing director/editorial-director

While the first solution could seem absolutely counter-intuitive, I'd favour it, because my experience (which is obviously limited) is that in the great majority of cases, the "editor" role, in English, corresponds to the concept of "publishing director"/"directeur de publication" (I'm talking of ordinary usage).
