Just curious if anyone has written any scripts for normalizing/ homogenizing/(whatever that database word is for making things that are 'close to the same' to be 'the same') journal titles and author names?

I've got Koenderink, JJ, Koenderink Jan J, Koenderink J.J., Koenderink J, Koenderink Jan (he's prolific :) I've got Perception & Psychophysics (correct), Perception and Psychophysics, P & P, Perc & Psych

I do them by hand usually, but it would be nice for a more 'relational database' approach where there is one entity called Jan Koenderink, an entity called P&P, etc. My guess is that, right now, the bibdesk code is flat-database-esque?
So scripts would seem to be the way to go for now.

A journal abbreviation-to-full-name expander would be nice too :)
