[EP-tech] Field author missing



Hi Hans,

I think your first issue may a question of terminology.? In EPrints, the 
term "creator" rather than author is used, as it more applicable to the 
different types of publication or research contribution that may be 
deposited.? Creator is pretty much equivalent to Dublin Core's creator 
[1].? EPrints also has an editor field but by default this is only 
available to be filled in for certain types of items.? Beyond this there 
is the contributor field the ability to assign both a name and a role 
for how a person is associated with a deposited item.? There is a useful 
page will a fairly comprehensive listing of terminology used within 
EPrints repository software at:

Similarly the "Identification Number" (id_number) field is what is 
typically used to store DOIs and this can take a DOI value (e.g. 
10.1234/5678) and convert it into a link to discover the item from its 
publication (e.g. journal).? However, I can appreciate that beyond 
terminological differences there may be bespoke fields you want to add.? 
This requires a number of steps. Here is a guide for how to do this:

It may be a little out of date but I think most of the instructions are 
still the same for EPrints 3.4.

Regards

David Newman
