confusing name identification #3

Hi there,

Thanks for your useful tool. It helps a lot.

I have a question. This notebook use FirstNameInitial + LastName to identify authors. However, that may correspond to another person. For example, one of my coauthor is Adam Smith (pseudonym), and another person called Aaron Smith cited our paper. This citation is not counted as independent, because they are all identified as A Smith.

Could you please fix it? Thank you!
