For some analyses it might not be necessary to disambiguate names (e.g., if comparing author countries). It might therefore be useful and save processing time to split authors_clean into two steps: First process the imported references to generate the author list with parsed addresses (and output results) THEN disambiguate the author names. The first step would output, e.g., foo_authors_undisambig, while the second would give us the current version of refnet's foo_authors_prelim and foo_authors_review
