Analytics should normalize publication titles to cluster article in the same journal more effectively
Analytics currently considers capitalization variants as different for publication titles, and does not disregard initial articles. After a CDI migration in early December, we have both "American Journal of Psychiatry" and "The American journal of psychiatry". We have also gotten both "Gynecologic Oncology" and "Gynecologic oncology" and we have "PloS one" as well as "PLoS ONE" and "PLOS ONE".
Dear Colleagues,
After some investigation I learned that this is not something that our Analytics team is offering. We understand the need for keeping a unified list of journal names yet this is something that will need to be done in Esploro and cannot be resolved only by the Analytics team.
Today it is possible to cluster by ISSN number and create a report by journal ISSN and do a manual data cleanup.
I am closing this idea since it not related to Analytics. If keeping a uniform journal name is a priority, please open a new Idea and please specify different use cases and specific requirements that are important to you.
