authors with composite names and multidisciplinary research RRS feed

  • Question

  • three problems

    1. i found that mas (microscoft academic research) does not deal properly with composite author names (very common in europe).

    2. if such an author is active in several scientific disciplines, his/her papers appear in different subsets which makes the bibliometric mas-results (output) incomplete, if not wrong or irrelevant for this author

    3. there is no means to correct these problems on-line (no authentification for author's is provided)
