This related item is used to add a contributor to a research output and view details about them. Contributor details usually include the person's name and role, their organisational affiliation associations, and the percentage of time spent on the research output.
Most of the contributor details come from the data in the Personnel module, however the fields can be modified to reflect the person's details at the time of the publication. Modifying the details in the Contributors related item does not affect this person's personal details anywhere else in the system.
