Feature request: Add author roles

bjoernm · March 25, 2021

Hello,
I'd propose a feature that allows to assign author roles to different authors. They would for journal articles be some as corresponding author / PI / first author etc.
The corresponding author could be imported, I assume that all other roles are difficult to get (automatically).
Best regards

Additionally author types are part of CSL 1.0.2. For now, you can enter these after the author name like this:
Jones || Sofia (PI)

but that'd display in all citations, wouldn't it?

Yes

I have been looking across a couple of different pages without success and the title of this page is the closest I've gotten. I am in the process of cataloging references for my dissertation and some of my materials include roles that are not in the default dropdown. For example, I have a report generated during a grad school cohort's capstone that lists a professor as "Supervisor," which my advisor as well as the university's library staff said to treat her role similar to an editor but with an adjusted label. I know that I can manually edit citations/bibliographies in Word but doing so makes them static, requiring me to remove and replace the bibliography when I add sources to my document.
