https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=42956 Bug ID: 42956 Summary: OPAC Cite includes MARC21 710 corporate names as authors Initiative type: --- Sponsorship --- status: Product: Koha Version: 25.11 Hardware: All OS: All Status: NEW Severity: normal Priority: P5 - low Component: OPAC Assignee: oleonard@myacpl.org Reporter: i.tortorella@arts.ac.uk QA Contact: testopia@bugs.koha-community.org Target Milestone: --- The OPAC Cite function appears to include corporate names from MARC21 710 in the author/contributor position. Where relator information is present, the Cite function should consider 710$e and/or 710$4 to determine the relationship between the corporate name and the resource. For example, if the corporate name is identified as a supplier, it should not be placed in the author/contributor position in the generated citations. This has been reproduced locally on our live Koha 24.11 server and also on our 25.11 test upgrade server. Example 1: 100 1# $a Walker, Stuart $d 1955- $e author 245 10 $a Sustainable by Design $h [electronic resource] : $b Explorations in Theory and Practice 710 2# $a ProQuest (Firm) $e supplier Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to the OPAC. 2. Open a bibliographic record with a personal author in 100 and a corporate name in 710. 3. Select the Cite option. 4. Review the generated citations. Actual results: The generated citations include the 710 corporate name as though it were an author/contributor. For example, the Harvard citation includes ProQuest (Firm): Walker S., ProQuest (Firm), . (2012). Sustainable by Design. Florence: Taylor and Francis. Expected results: Corporate names from 710 should not automatically be included in the author/contributor position in generated citations. Where 710$e or 710$4 is present, the Cite function should consider the relationship before including the corporate body as a creator/contributor. For example, 710$e “supplier” should not be treated as an author or creator role. The citation should use the actual author only, for example: Walker S. (2012). Sustainable by Design: Explorations in Theory and Practice. Florence: Taylor and Francis. Additional information: This has also been observed where 710$e is not present. Example 2, reproduced on Koha 25.11: 100 1# $a Proudfoot, G. R. 245 10 $a Shakespeare $h [electronic resource] : $b text, stage and canon 710 2# $a Bloomsbury (Firm) Actual Harvard citation: Proudfoot G. R., Bloomsbury (Firm), . (2001). Shakespeare. London: Arden Shakespeare. The Cite pop-up provides APA, Chicago, Harvard and MLA citations together, and the 710 corporate name appears in the author/contributor position. Some 710 fields may legitimately represent creators or contributors, but the Cite function should not treat all 710$a values as authors without considering relator information where available. This is separate from Bug 41690, which relates to MARC21 245$b subtitles being omitted from OPAC citations. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
