Bug ID: 42956
Summary: OPAC Cite includes MARC21 710 corporate names as
authors
Initiative type: ---
Sponsorship ---
status:
Product: Koha
Version: 25.11
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P5 - low
Component: OPAC
Assignee: [email protected]

Target Milestone: ---
The OPAC Cite function appears to include corporate names from MARC21 710 in
the author/contributor position.
Where relator information is present, the Cite function should consider 710$e
and/or 710$4 to determine the relationship between the corporate name and the
resource. For example, if the corporate name is identified as a supplier, it
should not be placed in the author/contributor position in the generated
citations.
This has been reproduced locally on our live Koha 24.11 server and also on our
25.11 test upgrade server.
Example 1:
100 1# $a Walker, Stuart $d 1955- $e author
245 10 $a Sustainable by Design $h [electronic resource] : $b Explorations in
Theory and Practice
710 2# $a ProQuest (Firm) $e supplier
Steps to reproduce:
1. Go to the OPAC.
2. Open a bibliographic record with a personal author in 100 and a corporate
name in 710.
3. Select the Cite option.
4. Review the generated citations.
Actual results:
The generated citations include the 710 corporate name as though it were an
author/contributor.
For example, the Harvard citation includes ProQuest (Firm):
Walker S., ProQuest (Firm), . (2012). Sustainable by Design. Florence: Taylor
and Francis.
Expected results:
Corporate names from 710 should not automatically be included in the
author/contributor position in generated citations.
Where 710$e or 710$4 is present, the Cite function should consider the
relationship before including the corporate body as a creator/contributor. For
example, 710$e “supplier” should not be treated as an author or creator role.
The citation should use the actual author only, for example:
Walker S. (2012). Sustainable by Design: Explorations in Theory and Practice.
Florence: Taylor and Francis.
Additional information:
This has also been observed where 710$e is not present.
Example 2, reproduced on Koha 25.11:
100 1# $a Proudfoot, G. R.
245 10 $a Shakespeare $h [electronic resource] : $b text, stage and canon
710 2# $a Bloomsbury (Firm)
Actual Harvard citation:
Proudfoot G. R., Bloomsbury (Firm), . (2001). Shakespeare. London: Arden
Shakespeare.
The Cite pop-up provides APA, Chicago, Harvard and MLA citations together, and
the 710 corporate name appears in the author/contributor position.
Some 710 fields may legitimately represent creators or contributors, but the
Cite function should not treat all 710$a values as authors without considering
relator information where available.
This is separate from Bug 41690, which relates to MARC21 245$b subtitles being
omitted from OPAC citations.
