[EP-tech] Re: Editors not dispaying in the records of chapters of books?

Threading: [EP-tech] Editors not dispaying in the records of chapters of books? from A.Birchall AT mdx.ac.uk
      • This Message

Alex,
In  [ARCHIVE]/cfg/citations/eprint/default.xml, you should be able to find a 
section similar to:
<when test="type = 'book' and !is_set( creators )">
  <print expr="editors_name"/>, ed<if 
test="length(editors) gt 1">s</if>.
</when>

 - you probably want to change the clause for this - removing the '!is_set( 
creators )' section (as you have both creators and editors for this item)?

Cheers,
John

Hi,

At present, our installation of EPrints does not display the editors of books 
in the bibliographical citation of a book section item:

McIlroy, John and Croucher, Richard (2008) Skills and training: a strategic 
role for trade unions or the limits of neoliberalism? In:
Trade unions in a neoliberal world. Routledge, pp. 283-315.

This has only just been pointed out to me and I must admit I find it odd.  I've 
checked on http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/ and in that repository editors are 
credited in the bibliographic citations:

http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/41271/

Jones, K. and Simons, H. (2000) The student experience of online mathematics 
enrichment. In, Nakahara, T. and Koyama, M. (eds.) Proceedings 24th Conference 
of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education.  
Hiroshima, Japan, PME, 103-110.

Is this omission fairly straightforward to remedy.

NB:  I know how to get editors to display in the item record by editing 
/opt/eprints3/archives/mdxrep1/cfg/cfg.d/eprint_render.pl, i.e.:

Item Type:	Book Section
Editors:	Daniels, Gary and McIlroy, John
Research Areas:	Business School > Human Resource Management
Business School > Economics
ID Code:	789
Deposited By:	MDX Repository Administrator
Deposited On:	13 Jan 2009 15:01
Last Modified:	19 Jun 2009 13:59

Best regards,
