Bulk Changes to Asset Authors
As the title says, we would like the ability to bulk edit authors. We have assets that have almost 3000 authors most of which are unaffiliated which we would like to remove. There currently is no mechanism to do this in a timely manner.
We understand that doing this via SmartHarvesting is difficult at best, but an PUT API or or some other process is possible.
The ones we are having the most trouble with are physics papers as we have member of ATLAS which has the aforementioned almost 3000 authors. Currently we have to remove the 'extra' names one at a time which excessively time consuming.
The the following article can be used as an example: https://scholarworks.brandeis.edu/esploro/outputs/9923879922501921
We added additional bulk update functionality to the Update set of Research Assets job.
