    <div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br>
      <br>
      I'm forwarding on the below note from Darcy Dapra of the Google
      Scholar team regarding DSpace 5.x sites.  Currently, we have a
      small bug which can cause the list of authors to be out-of-order
      in the Google Scholar metadata. This bug was accidentally
      introduced in DSpace 5.x and does not affect earlier versions. It
      only affects the metadata which is harvested by Google Scholar,
      and not the author listing in the DSpace user interface itself. <br>
      <br>
      We are planning on a 5.4 release in the near future (likely
      sometime in November) which will resolve this issue (and a few
      other bugs).  In the meantime, there is a patch which would allow
      you to immediately fix this issue on your 5.x site
      (<a href="https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/999" target="_blank">https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/pull/999</a>). <br>

          <div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">DSpace 5.x releases
            have an error in generation of machine-readable
            bibliographic metadata for indexing. This error causes the
            list of authors to be reordered (see <a href="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2679" target="_blank"></a><a href="https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2679" target="_blank">https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-2679</a> for

          <div style="font-size:12.8000001907349px">Colleagues in the
            DSpace community have put together a patch to fix this

            running a DSpace 5.x instance, we strongly recommend
            applying this patch. This would make the authors happier
            (name order is of much importance to authors). It would also
            re-enable Google Scholar indexing.</div>
