    issue 5 (Authors sharing same last name and initials) commented on by walkerboboh   -   Hi folks, actually you can limit the search to only the universities/company where the author has worked, at least somewhat. In the "+Other" box, type all or part of the company names, quoting multiple words as necessary, with "|" between the each university/company. For example: Carnegie|Rensselaer|"Kent State" requires one of those terms, which pretty much allows me to filter out all the people with my name who have not been at Carnegie Mellon, Rensselaer, or Kent State. Similarly, I can refine the name search by typing in: "First Middle Last"|"First M. Last"|"FM Last", replacing with my own first, middle, and last name. However, what I can NOT do, as least so far as I can determine, is say do not include papers with a phrase to filter out the one last person with my name, who is at a particular university that I've never been associated with.

    issue 5 (Authors sharing same last name and initials) commented on by AMorfa   -   I think a simpler idea than convincing the academic community to adopting identification numbers or to allow for areas of research (because there is no end to the number of sub areas that people would have to invent to describe their work), is this: Allow first, the search to accept names to be entered with a first, possibly second, initial. If you put in "Surname Initial" now (with quotation marks), it finds the correct number of citations, but cannot calculate the H-index. That way people with a unique surname and first initial combination are covered. Then the people who have a common combination should put their institute(s) in the 'other' box. Or their area of research. It does not look like Google Scholar searches for more than author name, date, or publication, so this might be the best a Google based search can muster...

    issue 5 (Authors sharing same last name and initials) commented on by jkenney9   -   I absolutely agree...this is a fatal issue that, if not resolved, basically renders this tool utterly useless. ISI is much better in this respect, but still not perfect. Is there a way to assign individual researchers a unique identification number that can then be associated with their publications? Then all one needs to know is this number, that would solve all these issues.

    issue 5 (Authors sharing same last name and initials) commented on by ProfessorStaff   -   For me, even searching by field would not fix this (limiting to institutional affiliations would help). The best solution (used by ISI's Web of Science) is to allow a subset of the listed articles to be manually selected or unselected.

    issue 5 (Authors sharing same last name and initials) commented on by DrJRGuerci   -   Thanks for your reply. That would indeed fix most of the problems. Presently, Google Scholar Citation Counter does not support that feature. So hopefully your suggestion will be adopted. Surprisingly, there are still authors (more than you might guess) with the same surname AND initials working in the same field! That was the problem I was really having--that's why I suggested the "editable" list.

    issue 5 (Authors sharing same last name and initials) commented on by peterlander   -   As a suggestion, allowing searching by field would reduce this error. For example, allow users to search for an author published by field (Business, Economics, Finance, etc. or Physics, etc.)

    issue 5 (Authors sharing same last name and initials) reported by DrJRGuerci   -   What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. A number of authors have the same last name and initials 2. 3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? There is no simple fix. However, if an interactive listing was provided, one could "select" the papers known to a particular author. This "corrected" list could then be submitted for re-computation of the score. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Please provide any additional information below.
