 - More cleanup work on the authors in the Bioversity migration
   - Now I sent the final feedback to Francesca, Carol, and Abenet
+- Peter is still seeing some authors listed with "|" in the "Top Authors" statistics for some collections
+  - I looked in some of the items that are listed and the author field does not contain those invalid separators
+  - I decided to try doing a full Discovery re-indexing on CGSpace (linode18):
+
+```
+$ time schedtool -B -e ionice -c2 -n7 nice -n19 dspace index-discovery -b
+
+real    82m35.993s
+```
+
+- After the re-indexing the top authors still list the following:
+
+```
+Jagwe, J.|Ouma, E.A.|Brandes-van Dorresteijn, D.|Kawuma, Brian|Smith, J.
+```
+
+- I looked in the database to find authors that had "|" in them:
+
+```
+dspace=# SELECT text_value, resource_id FROM metadatavalue WHERE resource_type_id=2 AND metadata_field_id=3 AND text_value LIKE '%|%';
+            text_value            | resource_id 
+----------------------------------+-------------
+ Anandajayasekeram, P.|Puskur, R. |         157
+ Morales, J.|Renner, I.           |       22779
+ Zahid, A.|Haque, M.A.            |       25492
+(3 rows)
+```
+
+- Then I found their handles and corrected them, for example:
+
+```
+dspacetest=# select handle from item, handle where handle.resource_id = item.item_id AND item.item_id = '157' and handle.resource_type_id=2;
+  handle   
+-----------
+ 10568/129
+(1 row)
+```
+
+- So I'm still not sure where these weird authors in the "Top Author" stats are coming from
