10.5: Adding Authorbars (Meta-Tags)
Attribution is important for both academia and for most open licenses in OER. At present, to ensure proper credit is given and that any attribution requirements for licensing is satisfied, the LibreTexts libraries are equipped for adding an author bar to each page. There are several ways of doing this in LibreTexts. One is discussed in this section, the others in Section 10.7 . If an author has created the content of a page (not remixed it) the first way is to use the meta-tag "Author" option in the collapsible "Page Settings" option of each page (Figure \(\PageIndex{1}\)). For example, the author bar for "Delmar Larsen" is indicated on this page (see above). New author bars can be created by the LibreTexts development team as needed/requested. Rather than scrolling through the list start by typing the name of the author and auto completion will bring you to the complete name if it is on the list.
If an author is not found in the available option contact the LibreTexts Development team to add it via https://commons.libretexts.org/support/contact or info@libretexts.org .
Once an author has been selected, a popup will appear
Be careful of the Apply new tags to subpages choice if the author of choice has only created the single page you are on, as it will overwrite all pages.
Once the author has been set, a line will appear at the bottom of the page
This page titled 10.5: Adding Authorbars (Meta-Tags) is shared under a CC BY 1.3 license and was authored, remixed, and/or curated by Delmar Larsen .
The title ( 10.5: Adding Authorbars (Meta-Tags) ) is automatically inserted, the license is inserted from the meta tags License and License Version and the link to the Author metatag is placed at the end. This satisfies the conditions of the Creative Commons BY license. The Author Bar at the top of the page under the title, does not!
In some cases other methods for acknowledging authors are needed. For example if a remixed page has been heavily edited. See Section 10.7 for details
