Description
Overview of the Feature Request
Currently, authors are listed in order on the metadata tab of a dataset and in the citation. When author lists grow very long, this display becomes unwieldy for the user scrolling through the dataset page. Is there a better way to display this author list?
What kind of user is the feature intended for?
Depositor, data re-user, browser.
What inspired the request?
Depositing a dataset with over 200 authors.
What existing behavior do you want changed?
Improved display of author lists. Display could change if author name is located in a search.
Any related open or closed issues to this feature request?
I don't think so.

Research direction
The metadata tab and citation are the affected entry points, with datasets containing over 200 authors as the motivating case. Review the current author-list display and how author-name search is handled, then define and validate a less unwieldy presentation for depositors, data re-users, and browsers.
