When validating the Crossref XML for download from the plugin, we get this error:
Element '{http://www.crossref.org/schema/4.3.6}surname': [facet 'minLength'] The value has a length of '0'; this underruns the allowed minimum length of '1'.
<contributors>
<person_name contributor_role="author" sequence="first" language="en">
<given_name>Evan Rushton </given_name>
<surname/>
</person_name>
<person_name contributor_role="author" sequence="additional" language="en">
<given_name>Seth Corrigan</given_name>
<surname/>
</person_name>
</contributors>`
Turns out that our team was entering the author in article > publication > contributor dialog and putting all names in the ‘Given Name*’ field and leaving the ‘Surname’ field empty.
Shirley the Surname field should be mandatory? Or the Crossref XML validation should be weaker?
Perhaps this is a bug fix for a future version?
