Thank you very much for this amazing idea and doing the calculations.

What immediatly came to my mind was the daily problem of heterogeneous spelling of Authors' names, like in the example below, where it appears to name four different persons, however almost surely comes from only one person.

Clearly cleaning that up is not trivial. Nonetheless, the ranking would greatly benefit from some further efforts into this direction.

Yes I m afraid there are many such cases and they need to be detected and cleaned manually.
