Assuming you are not taking aim just at the single paper with a group author
(329), I see 3 papers where the pattern matcher for paper202.txt got the wrong
word to use as an author, and many papers with dual authorship but the pattern
matcher only got the second one.
Are we now supposed to tailor the "From:" field to precisely match the vagaries
of the pattern matcher?
In the recent past we've had many papers with dual authorship expressed in the
forms
Author One, Another Two
Author One/Another Two
and less frequently subgroup-authored papers with a primary author variously
expressed as
Author Prime for Subgroup
Author Prime/Subgroup
If we want to pander to the pattern matcher those should be
Author/Another One/Two
and
Author Prime/Subgroup
I would guess...
What is the Librarian's pleasure?
Cheers,
