Purpose: The IPT system was developed in late 2006
to identify all publications attributable to LANL authors.
The system enables us to meet management’s
requirement to provide “peer reviewed” publication
counts to the Department of Energy (DOE). The need
to identify the individual LANL affiliated authors was an
initial requirement. Authors are identified by a unique
employee number, disambiguating common names.
This information, augmented with data supplied by HR,
allows us to query and generate specialized reports on
various demographic criteria.
Duplicate Records: Harvesting from multiple databases creates
duplicate records. Differences in metadata, presentation of
scientific notation, variant page numbers, etc., creates issues for
matching/removal of duplicate records. Our current machine
matching criteria is based on journal title, publication year, first
author, start page and volume. We are investigating alternate
methods for better matching.

Institutional Publications Tracking (IPT) System
Valerie O. Trujillo, Susan K. Heckethorn
Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) Research Library
LA-UR-10-06924
Human Review Process: Library staff review the “machine” author
matches against the fulltext. Non-LANL authors, incorrectly matched,
are unmatched. LANL authors missed by the preliminary machine
matches are manually matched by staff. The type of match is noted
for our own metrics.

Review
We harvest summary data
from bibliographic records in
the Library’s (aDORe)
repository of vendor data
(based on institution match)
on a monthly basis. All
records have a unique
repository identifier (repoid).

Tools developed for customer use: An end-user interface,
myPubs@LANL, has been developed. This allows laboratory
researchers to enter their employee identification number into an
interface. The corresponding repoids are used to pull bibliographic and
citation data from the Library’s OPPIE* database.

Author Matching: Author information is placed into a MySQL
table. The names are compared with employee information,
provided by HR, through a series of 6 successive matching routines
(see central panel). Non-LANL authors may be mistakenly matched
due to common surnames and initials. Other causes of mismatches
or failure to match include name changes, staff writing under
nicknames/middle names, recent changes in employment i.e., now
at Los Alamos.
