Author field
Make author a composite of multiple fields – name, email, ORCID, and institution – and preserve author order as entered. | | | |

Blanket copyright statement
Add to full item page for all records: “Items in ScholarWorks are protected by copyright, with all rights reserved, unless otherwise indicated.” | | | |

Current note in the Visibility area of the form says “making something visible to the world may be viewed as publishing which could impact your ability to patent your work & publish your work in a journal,” which is not a universally held opinion. | | | |
