Author searching: The Problem • How to distinguish between an author’s articles and those of another authors sharing the same name? • How to group an author’s articles together when his or her name has been recorded in different ways? (e.g. Stambrook, P and Stambrook, P.J.)
Solving the Problem We have approached solving these problems by using the data available in the publication records such as… • Author Names • Affiliation • Co-authors • Self citations • Source title • Subject area …and used this data to group articles that belong to a specific author. So how does Author Identifier work?
