the way wos reader module analyzes the names of the authors of the references #89

Closed yzou20 closed 8 years ago

yzou20 commented 9 years ago

For authors whose last name has two characters, the wos reader module breaks the last name into two parts and treats them as first name and last name. For example, for author "van Kampenng NG", the tethne module reads the last name as "van," and the first name as "Kampenng," and ignores the real firstname "NG."

Hi Yawen, So Is this the format that you are expecting?

First Name: NG Last Name: Kampenng

This is hard. One thing that you might consider is using a whitelist of affixes in the name parsing logic. Eg see Wikipedia: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_family_name_affixes
