Should the institution’s name be recorded in the affiliation field if the author is no longer affiliated with it?
7 de November de 2024No. The institution’s name should only be recorded in the affiliation field if the author is still affiliated with it or if the work was conducted during the period of affiliation. It is the author’s responsibility to include this information in the document.
If the document only includes educational titles, such as “doctor,” “master,” or “licensed by,” the affiliation field should be filled with “s.af” (meaning “no affiliation”).
The institution’s name should only be recorded if there are indications of current affiliation, such as “doctoral candidate” or “master’s candidate,” as this indicates the author is still affiliated with the institution.
