Hi David, I tried it like you said and made a third excel sheet for the connections. The authors are now connected to the articles but instead of multiple authors only the last author got connected to the article in the JSON file. I used Babel to convert the excel file to JSON. I have also tried to convert to JSONP but that didn`t matter. Any ideas?
