Kim S unsurprizingly brings a list of papers by a number of different Kim S. (all with different emails obviously). I cant see how I identify which Kim S is associated with which paper when I do "add email" | |

Are you saying all the papers assigned to the author "Kim, S" are not by the same person? http://www.skepticalscience.com/tcp.php?Action=Scientist&s=5797 | |

Yes, looking at the papers, there are different first names. (The papers are very different material). | |

The Web of Science database has not been doing me any favours - there seems to be a few cases where Smith, J is actually more than one person. If you confirm that we have a bunch of papers assigned to one person in the SkS database but in reality, they are written by two separate people with the same surname and first initial, then follow this process:
That's it, you will then have reassigned that paper to the newly added author. | |

I'm currently "having fun" with authors named "Li" and was able to identify two of the ones showing up as "Li, T". I don't yet have their email-addresses but from the publication it would be possible to copy&paste their affiliations. Would it make sense to add these in the email-field or will this just be confusing down the line? Update: I just realised that I accidentally added authors "Tao, Li" and "Tim, Li" - mixing up the first and last name fields as they show up in different orders on the different screens. |
