Text Extraction

A recently addressed issue in the scholarly publish-ing international world is increasingly becoming important: the need to properly standardize authors’ names and affiliation institutions. This is a long-standing problem; hence identifiers such as ISBN for books and ISSN for magazines have been used for decades.
Yet, nowadays, the name of a given author would come out differently on his articles or databases; this may be due to inaccuracy when signing their articles, different editorial practices or mistakes when introducing their records in databases. That is why recovering the total scientific work of an author becomes so challenging and, consequently, knowing his professional career and collecting his complete scientific production. This redounds in erroneous productivity, visibility and impact estimations of both scientists and research centers.
