Content enhancement and knowledge services provider Scope eKnowledge Center (Scope), a Quatrro Group company, has announced that it will support a significant new initiative of the IEEE, the world's largest technical professional association, to build a unique author name database.
IEEE plans to create a database of author data extracted from more than 2.5 million journal articles and conference proceedings contained in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. In order to develop this unique author name database, IEEE is partnering with Scope to subject the existing metadata to a stringent cleanup process, which in-turn will ensure quality disambiguation and the highest level of excellence in the final database product. In order to do so, Scope will take a technology-assisted approach, engaging skilled professionals experienced in the nuances of researcher names and affiliation data while also employing software tools for data validation and enrichment.
As the world's largest technical professional association, IEEE is dedicated to advancing technology for the benefit of humanity. Through its highly cited publications, conferences, technology standards, and professional and educational activities, IEEE is the trusted voice on a wide variety of areas ranging from aerospace systems, computers and telecommunications to biomedical engineering, electric power and consumer electronics.
