    crossref xml export throws up errors in validation xml
    When I am trying to manually export the articles to give to my doi sponsor organisation, i am getting repeated lines of error saying

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’.

Element ‘{http://www.crossref.org/schema/4.3.6}surname’: [facet ‘pattern’] The value ‘’ is not accepted by the pattern ‘[^\d?][^?\s]+[^\d]’.

Element ‘{http://www.crossref.org/schema/4.3.6}surname’: ‘’ is not a valid value of the local atomic type.

This is repeated 5 times I think

I think surname field of one of your authors of articles is not filled.

Yes that was the problem. Solved it by searching for in the generated xml file to check which article had a surname missing. Thanks a lot for your help.
