Description

Describe the bug

  • When entering a new author in a preprint server, the affiliation is not saved with the author record. Affiliations are blank when adding existing users created in preprints.
  • Author affiliations do not display on the item page

Janeway version
1.7.4, OLH theme

Expected behavior

  • Author affiliation information should be saved with accounts created in preprints server
  • Would like author affiliations to display on item page, e.g., parenthetical after author name

Research direction

Start by tracing how new authors are created in the preprint server and how author data is persisted, then locate the item page rendering for author names. Done means affiliations are saved for preprint-created accounts and displayed after author names on the item page; verify both existing and newly entered authors.
