Import errors

<general>
Due to inconsistencies in the author field in the original database, author names are imported as 'normal text'.
Scan the imported references and edit the RM field Author. Apply the RM author format: <last name |comma| initials separated by periods or full first name |comma| suffix> resulting in for example 'Smith, A.A.; Burg, J., van der; Jones, B.B.' 
After editing you can clean the author index by using the Term Manager [click Term Manager | click Activate | choose Author index | click Term Manager again | click Purge | click Yes to All]
