Upgrade StorageAuthors and affiliations
We're working on a project that is trying to map research across authors and institutions across Africa. It would be helpful to us to be able to record some information about the author, such as the affiliation (which some metadata dbs offer).
What's the suggested/ a good way of doing this?
(Disambiguation of authors would also be helpful, but could be done with a name suffix... see https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/36088/orcid)
