UIC ITHENTICATE HOW TO

The focus for Thomson in this area has been on author disambiguation. Project Summaries Jim Pringle gave a short PPT presentation (attached) and reported that Thomson first started creating its own author ids in 2000, in relation to the launch of its Highly Cited service. The meeting then turned to short project summaries from others. He commented that the currently assembled group failed to include the open web community, and their input would be important too as this project develops. We have just started this project and we wanted to get some feedback from various groups concerned with scholarly publishing in order to understand what people would like to see in regards to author identification schemes and what initiatives/efforts we need to be aware of. Geoff apologized for sounding like Rumsfeld and said, we know that there is a lot that we donвЂ™t know, but we donвЂ™t know exactly what we donвЂ™t know. They also recognize that such a scheme could fuel numerous downstream applications. The members feel that an вЂњauthor DOIвЂќ scheme would help them with production and editorial issues. Geoffrey Bilder said that CrossrefвЂ™s members had indicated that they would like Crossref to explore whether it could play a role in creating an author identification system. Amy then introduced Geoff Bilder as moderator of the meeting. We went around the table and everyone introduced themselves. She said the goal of the meeting was really nothing more than to launch a discussion on a topic of author identifiers and hear from participants re their views and experiences on unique identifiers for individuals - be they authors, contributors, or otherwise.
