Issue with Author Indexing in DSpace 7
Humberto Blanco Castillo
Hello everyone,
I hope you are all well.
I am encountering a problem in our DSpace repository that I hope you can help me resolve. Upon reviewing the author indexing, I have noticed that some identifiers are not being indexed correctly, which is affecting the visibility and accessibility of the documents in our repository.
Attached is an image with some examples of these identifiers:
The specific problem I am observing is as follows:
- Incorrectly indexed author identifiers: Instead of displaying the names of the authors, alphanumeric identifiers are being shown.
- Impact on visibility: This affects the search and retrieval of documents by end users, as they cannot search directly by author names.
Any guidance on how to resolve this issue would be greatly appreciated. If anyone has faced a similar problem or has any suggestions on possible solutions, I would greatly appreciate your help.
Thank you very much in advance for your time and support.

It's difficult for anyone to help without more information. What version of DSpace 7 are you using? Are these "authors" you are referencing Author *entities* or just Author strings? Are you using DSpace's Authority Control feature?
From the screenshot you've shared & the details in your email, it's very difficult to determine what the issue may be. It's possible this is an other bug that's been fixed in a more recent version of 7.x. Or, it could be a new bug that we're unaware of.
You also may want to verify whether you see the same behavior on our demo site (https://demo.dspace.org) as that can verify whether or not this is a bug in DSpace.

I might be able to help with this one. My notes suggest this was a DSpace 7.4 issue where authority keys would be shown in the Author Browse list for non-discoverable/withdrawn items. I seem to recall that updates with the internal discovery mechanism resolved the issue in DSpace 7.5. So I’d suggest upgrading to at least version 7.5 (if you are not there yet), and/or re-running index-authority. We are running DSpace 7.5 and I have not seen this issue since we upgraded.
