Affiliation Matching

Ensuring accuracy in academic affiliations

Our Affiliation Matching system uses sophisticated data analysis to align academic references with accuracy and precision.

By consolidating varying names and spellings of affiliations into a singular, recognized entity, we champion the reliability of academic work across publications.

Our Solution

Preprocessing raw data

STEP

1

Process Raw Data

The initial stage involves meticulously preparing and normalizing raw data to establish a solid foundation for reliable matching. This includes cleansing data, standardizing formats, and resolving inconsistencies to ensure high-quality inputs for the matching process.

Matching to PID

STEP

2

Matching to PID

In this pivotal phase, our algorithm engage in the identification and alignment of affiliation data with persistent identifiers (PIDs). This crucial step ensures each academic entity is accurately recognized and recorded, eliminating ambiguity and enhancing the integrity of affiliation data.
