Add `relators:cre` as an author in Citation Select Mapping?

Opened this issue · 0 comments

Objects in our local collections use relators:cre (creator) rather than relators:aut (author). With the default CSL mapping, the creators do not show up as authors in the citations. However, we would like them to.

If there is evidence of other sites in the same situation, I propose we add relators:cre to the CSL mapping section so that they map to author. This would cause the "creators" to show up as "authors" in the citations.

It will also serve as a good demonstration that you can add multiple relators terms to the same "author" mapping, in case (for example) your site includes photographs and you want your citations to use photographer as "author".
