RE: Multiple authors on OA articles in IR's

["Alison Hunter" <huntera@usq.edu.au>]

We certainly do include these articles.

We are often the only institution where the paper is located.

The location of the author in the list of authors isn't always a 
measure of the significance of their contribution. We in the 
repository don't and can't make judgement calls about their level 
of contribution to the paper. They are signalling their 
intellectual input, and therefore it's important

And yes, we do include all listed authors in the indexing.

Subject: Multiple authors on OA articles in IR's

In putting into an IR articles by our institution's authors, we 
have come across several articles where the institutional author 
is the 2nd, 3rd or 4th etc. author. Do other IR's include such 
articles, or is it only the home institution of the first author 
that would normally deposit the article? And do you include all 
the other authors in author indexing?

Thanks for any responses.
