STM giants focus on Author ID
Tracey Caldwell
Elsevier's Scopus database and Thomson Scientific have gone head to head with the launch of author identification tools.
Amanda Spiteri, Elsevier's director of marketing, said: "We've been working on Author Identifier almost since the start of Scopus -- the key issue is being able to correctly identify different authors sharing the same name, and also be confident you capture all results from authors whose name is expressed in different ways."
Spiteri said Scopus has developed a new algorithm for Author Identifier. "Most use an authority file or index of variants of author names. Our approach uses many data points associated with an author -- not just the name. This allows us to achieve over 99% accuracy in matching documents to the correct author."
Scopus cross-references information already present in the 27 million record database about the author's publication record.
