Outputs that only list authors (title page, funding, conflict of interest, YAML) exclude every row whose Author/Acknowledgee value is not "Author". This check runs on the table before that filter and tells the user which named contributors were excluded because their value is blank or not one of the allowed values, so nobody disappears silently. Tables without the Author/Acknowledgee column are fine: all rows are treated as authors.

Usage

check_excluded_unclear_author_status(contributors_table)

Arguments

contributors_table

The unfiltered contributors table.

Value

A standardized validation result ("success" or "warning").
