 * Hello,
 * There seems to be a duplication of all authors under the Authors drop-down box.
   The duplicated author is separated by a comma between the first name and the 
   last name.
 * I could individually delete all of these on the backend but they are connected
   to the same source publication with different ID numbers.
 * Would this issue be due to the Bibtex info?
    Can you please help rectify this
   bug?
 * Thank you!
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fauthor-duplicates%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
