  • Artist - Cover artist. Enter the artist for the cover art if known. If not known, leave blank. If the artist is not credited, but a signature is visible on the artwork, this can be used; if you do this, clarify in the Notes where you found the information. If there is both a signature and a printed credit, follow the printed credit. If you believe you recognize the artist's style but can see no actual attribution, make a note in the Notes field but don't enter the artist's name. If you know from a secondary bibliographic source who the artist is, but there is no attribution, enter the artist's name and also add a comment to the Notes field explaining the source of the attribution. If there is no cover art, leave the field blank, but consider adding a comment in the notes field to that effect so that it's clear to other editors (assuming no image of the cover is available) that the artist field has not simply been ignored. Note that entering this information will actually create a "COVERART" content record, behind the scenes, with a title of "Cover: " followed by the title of the publication.
