Hi,

The default setup associates all qualifiers of "contributor" with an author 
like so:


search.index.1 = author:dc.contributor.*

and

webui.browse.index.author = dc.contributor.*


so in order to prevent the thesis advisors from showing up you would have to 
change these search and browse indices, removing the wildcard character ("*"), 
to omit "dc.contributer.advisor". You would then have to make individual 
indices for each of the other fields that you do want to appear when author is 
searched or displayed.

You can find the information on making these changes in the How To Guide from 
DSpace.org:

Hope that helps, good-day and be well.

Subject: [Dspace-tech] how to prevent thesis advisers from displaying as 
authors?


Lately, we have added thesis advisers (dc.contributor.advisor) to our DSpace 
instance (1.6.0 JSPUI). However, they show up as "authors" in the display. 
That's incorrect and misleading. Here are the examples:

http://d-commons.d.umn.edu:8180/jspui/handle/10792/25/browse?type=title&submit_browse=Title

Is it possible to display thesis advisers in a different field? If not, is 
there a way to suppress thesis advisers from display?

Thanks,

--
