Hi Alexander, This is something I have never understand in the newer version 4.1 of dspace-cris. As you may know, when a dc.contributor.author value matches the name of a RP they link that dc.contributor.author metadata with the RP id using the authority key system. So, when your are in the simple item view, the java class that builds this jsp looks this authority key, if it is an accepted confidence key it would print the name of the author and the icon that links you with his RP profile. If the author doesn't have an accepted key, it only prints the name. This is logical, and this is how version 3.2 worked out of the box.
In version 4.1 I have discovered that out of the box, non accepted keys makes the name of that author not printed. I have tried putting non RP authors 'uncertain' confidence value (it's the higher value under accepted) and doesn't work. So, what I have do to fix this is to modify the java class https://github.com/Cineca/DSpace/blob/dspace-cris-master/dspace-cris/jspui-api/src/main/java/org/dspace/app/webui/cris/util/CrisDisplayStrategy.java#L73 the if section from line 73 should look like this: if (metadataArray[j].confidence != Choices.CF_ACCEPTED) { sb.append(metadataArray[j].value+"<br />"); continue; } So this way, would print all authors, RP and non RP. Remember you have to recompile the code. I don't know if this can be done modifying dspace.cfg, would be nice.
