--authors_file points to a TSV file containing potential authors to add citation file. This can be useful if you need to have a single file to keep track of several lab members and only pick the relevant ones to add to a given dataset.

This TSV file must at least have first_name and last_name columns, but can also include ORCID and affiliation columns.

first_name	last_name	ORCID	affiliation
Rémi	Gau	0000-0002-1535-9767	UCLouvain
Mohamed	Rezk	0000-0002-1866-8645	UCLouvain

There is a sample TSV in the inputs folder.
