Author names and inadvertent pseudonyms in bibliographic data bases

Abstract

Retrieval of all the works of a given author in one, or several, computer-searchable bibliographic data bases is made difficult, if not impossible, by inconsistent author name data. Varying forms of an author's name appear as different author names in a computer-generated author index. Authors, publishers, and data base generators should adopt policies that support a consistent name form to alleviate this information problem.
