Author as an entity in Zotero 7

sdf81
Hi!
Would it be possible in Zotero 7 to add authors as an entity?
This way it would be possible to list all works of this author AND
keep track of the author's ORCID and contact details, his/her website etc.

would that be feasible?

    I agree that this would be a very useful feature, particularly to normalize and deduplicate author names across the entire library.

    +1 to this feature. I'm working on trying to use Zotero to track publications by local authors at my institution and it would be amazing if I could track more of the data about those authors within Zotero directly rather than matching it in a separate spreadsheet.

    +1 also from my side: ORCID etc. are well established methods to identify authors and would enable using Zotero for better LOD integration.

    This would be amazing, particularly as it would be very useful for identifying research networks.

    It would probably need a way to include aliases, and to distinguish multiple authors with the same name.
