The function create_function() has been deprecated in PHP 7.2 due to security issues.

The following PHP warning is displayed when viewing a detail record page:

Deprecated function: Function create_function() is deprecated in auto_link() (line 1515 of modules/contrib/edsapi-drupal8-plugin/ebsco.module).
auto_link('XXXXXXXXXXXX') (Line: 1254)
template_preprocess_ebsco_result(Array, 'ebsco_result', Array) (Line: 284)
...

The suggested fix is to replace this:
