Authors, Authors: Thomson Scientific and Elsevier Scopus Search Them Out
BQ writes:

Two of the “high-priced spread” institutional services—Thomson Scientific’s Web of Science/Knowledge (http://scientific.thomson.com) and Elsevier’s Scopus (http://www.scopus.com)—have introduced sophisticated algorithmic tools designed to improve author searching. Thomson Scientific’s improvements began this month and will continue through the rest of the year. Elsevier’s Scopus put its Author Identifier features in place in mid-May. Elsevier’s improvements involve an arrangement with Parity Computing (http://www.paritycomputing.com), an independent computer service offering a range of advanced data mining and text-processing features to a number of clients.
