Your manuscript likely includes the names of the contributors to the paper. This page describes the Authors paragraph style and how this paragraph is processed by eXtyles.

Authors

The Authors style is applied to one or more paragraphs of contributor names, such as the names of manuscript authors and editors.

In a JATS XML workflow, Author Processing is a required eXtyles step that identifies name elements and footnotes and applies the au_ class of character styles (e.g., au_surname) to each element in the Authors paragraph. These characters styles are using during XML Export to provide granular tagging of contributor names in the <contrib-group> element (see <contrib-group> in the JATS Tag Library)

Author Processing

The eXtyles Advanced Process for Author Processing will parse paragraphs with author names into their constituent elements (surname, given names, initials, prefixes, and suffixes) as well as identify organizational authors. eXtyles can also be configured to distinguish between various types of contributors (e.g. authors and editors) depending on context in the document.

The author list must be reviewed after running Author Processing to ensure that the various elements have been correctly identified. Certain situations can cause problems for Author Processing in the standard eXtyles configuration: names in non-Western order (i.e. Surname Given-Names); multi-word surnames separated by spaces; unusual or non-standard degree names. Errors in Author Processing can be corrected by careful hand tagging.

If your configuration includes the Author Processing module, more information is included in the relevant section in the eXtyles User Documentation.
