Is there a way to link existing authors with their ORCID equivalents? In a DSpace 6.3 repository, using Mirage2 xmlui with several thousand authors, we are considering enabling ORCID authority control, but won't this lead to the creation of duplicate authors?
I have an author with 31 publications on the repository, but when I create a new submission and lookup the author's name, I can find it on ORCID, but it says 'items in this repository: 0'. If I use the ORCID id to submit the item, the browse index then lists the author's name twice, once with 31 publications, and once with 1 publication. Even if I rebuild the discovery index: dspace index-discovery -fb, the two apparently identical author's names continue to be listed separately. If I submit a new item using the name from the ORCID index, a subsequent search looking up that author's name still finds the name in the ORCID index (italicised) with 'items in this repository: 0', but now there is also a non-italicised name with a link to view items. Following that link takes me to the recently deposited item, but no others. So it looks like I've now got three versions of the author: the original, the ORCID id, and the newly created one. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong, but surely this can't be right. -- -- All messages to this mailing list should adhere to the DuraSpace Code of Conduct: https://duraspace.org/about/policies/code-of-conduct/ --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DSpace Technical Support" group.
