Edited scientific work

These are editorships of journals, books, series, proceedings, etc. Only editors are listed (editors), not authors.

Citation view example: Adelantamiento de la tuberosidad tibial para el tratamiento de la rotura de ligamento cruzado anterior en el perro. Edited by: Guerrero, T ; Rodríguez Quirós, J . Madrid, 2008.

Sometimes authors are in it anyway, you can tell when an edited scientific work has names at the beginning.

Example of the citation view of such a wrong indication: Rodríguez Quirós, J ; Victoria Mora, M ; Guerrero, TAdelantamiento de la tuberosidad tibial para el tratamiento de la rotura de ligamento cruzado anterior en el perro. Edited by: Guerrero, T ; Rodríguez Quirós, J . Madrid, 2008).

Edited scientific works do not have author fields themselves, but authors may have been entered previously when the publication type was different. Sometimes submitters start a submission as a book section with authors, later realize it is an editorship, and leave the authors. The ZORA editors have to delete such authors - or ask the submitter if the submission should not be a book section, journal article, conference proceeding or similar.

How to remove these undesired authors in case of a edited scientific work?

•     Change the item type, e.g. to book section or journal article
•     Remove authors
•     Convert back to the edited scientific work
•     There should be no more authors in the citation display now

How are repeated editorship recorded?

For books, book chapters and editorship there is the field “Edition”, in which the information from the publication can be recorded.

In the case of an edition, whose content has been substantially modified, a new record is created in ZORA. Reprints are not recorded in ZORA.

The edition statement is recorded as it appears in the publication. Numbers und numbers written as words are transcribed exactly. First editions are also recorded, insofar as they are mentioned in the resource.

Examples: 6. Auflage / 2. Verb. Aufl. / Neue Auflage / First edition / 52nd edition

For yearbooks and editorship for periodicals there is the field “Previous Dates”. In this field the years in which the work was previously published can be recorded.

Example:

For entries that are already published in ZORA and cannot be changed by the submitter, the mutation form - that can be found via the link at the very bottom of the publication - can be used to request modifications.
