Alma Resolver: Improve publisher matching accuracy
Currently, Alma Resolver identifies resources with the same name and author as matches, even when the publishers differ, meaning that the rft.publisher values are not taken into account.
This can lead to confusion and errors in identifying the correct resources, potentially leading to incorrect citations or misattributed information. To improve, we suggest the following:
* Publisher Verification: If the rft.publisher field differs between resources, Alma Resolver should determine this as a mismatch.
* User Notification: Notify users when resources with matching titles but different publishers exist
* Customizable Settings: Allow Alma users to customize Alma Resolver settings related to publisher information handling
