Hi, I'm curious about what processes people are using to implement name
authority in DSpace.
We plan to use author names from our office directory. However, when a
researcher's bibliographic citations are pulled from databases like Web of
Science, there can be a lot of name variation and no identifier linking the
variations to the same researcher, much less to our office directory. We've
compiled a bibliography with hundreds of citations to load.
Barring implementing ORCID (which we are exploring), how does your institution
handle this? Right now, it looks like we'll end up writing a script to
find/replace variations with the preferred name from the office directory. This
likely still entails a fair amount of time and manual cleanup. Any advice,
tips, or even just confirmation that others are taking a similar approach, are
appreciated.
Nichole
