Main tools: data integrity
Individual records in WoS, Scopus and Google Scholar reflect the information retrieved from the original sources, such as published papers, books and so on. Author names and addresses are taken from the paper and indexed so the paper can be found when you search by an author’s name or affiliation (address). If the author’s name or any other information is incorrect on the paper, the incorrect information will be recorded in the database. Errors can also occur at data entry level.
Always make sure you are consistent in using the same syntax of your name on all your publications. Select a name syntax that is complex enough to easily distinguish you from other authors. For example, if you have a common surname, include the initials of your second name or simply include the full second name.
