Authorship object
The Authorship object represents a single author and her institutional affiliations in the context of a given work. It is only found as part of a Work
object, in the work.authorships
property.
author
author
String: An author of this work, as a dehydrated Author
object.
Note that, sometimes, we assign ORCID using author disambiguation, so the ORCID we associate with an author was not necessarily included with this work.
author_position
author_position
String: A summarized description of this author's position in the work's author list. Possible values are first
, middle
, and last
.
It's not strictly necessary, because author order is already implicitly recorded by the list order of Authorship
objects; however it's useful in some contexts to have this as a categorical value.
countries
countries
List: The country or countries for this author.
We determine the countries using a combination of matched institutions and parsing of the raw affiliation strings, so we can have this information for some authors even if we do not have a specific institutional affiliation.
institutions
institutions
List: The institutional affiliations this author claimed in the context of this work, as dehydrated Institution
objects.
is_corresponding
is_corresponding
Boolean: If true
, this is a corresponding author for this work.
This is a new feature, and the information may be missing for many works. We are working on this, and coverage will improve soon.
raw_affiliation_string
raw_affiliation_string
Will be deprecated
String: This author's affiliation as it originally came to us (on a webpage or in an API), as a raw unformatted string. Multiple affiliations are separated by a semicolon.
This will be deprecated in the future in favor of raw_affiliation_strings
.
raw_affiliation_strings
raw_affiliation_strings
List: This author's affiliation as it originally came to us (on a webpage or in an API), as a list of raw unformatted strings. If there is only one affiliation, it will be a list of length one.
raw_author_name
raw_author_name
String: This author's name as it originally came to us (on a webpage or in an API), as a raw unformatted string.
