Need to resolve PHP 8.1deprecation messages from DublinCoreMetaPlugin and PKP Lib in OJS 3.3.0-14

Dear PKP Team,
I’ve tried to upgrade PHP from 8.0 to 8.1. I noticed that most of this deprecation messages are related to some plugins and PKP Lib as below:

[17-Feb-2023 18:08:50 Asia/Baghdad] PHP Deprecated: htmlspecialchars(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /public_html/plugins/generic/dublinCoreMeta/DublinCoreMetaPlugin.inc.php on line 155

is related to the DublinCoreMetaPlugin.
