When selecting input for my institution's IR, I encountered many articles
in our current (non-full text) database, that have over 30 co-authors, of
which only one is affiliated to our organisation. We will be administring
centrally, so the decision is mine and my colleagues'.

I'm not too keen to include these in our repository. what's your opinion on
this? Should only articles where al least the first author is affiliated to
the institution be entered. Where can we draw a line (if we can). How much
author affiliation does one need?

Best regards,
