Guide to the author table


Explanations for each of the columns in the author table are given below. Note that some of the data published in the table may not be correct - see italicised text below.

Name
The author's name is taken from the first paper that the HelioIndex sofware finds that contains the author's ORCID iD. The name is stored in the masterlist file. Please contact Peter Young if you would like the format of your name to be edited. Note that accents are removed in order to simplify string searching in the software.

Affiliation
The author's affiliation is determined from their most recent paper for which the ORCID iD is available. In most cases the affilation string stored in ADS is converted to a standard, shortened format that is listed under affiliation. For less common affiliations, the ADS affiliation string is truncated to 40 characters for display in the table. If the author has moved institute since publishing their most recent article, then the affiliation will not be correct.

Country
The author's country is extracted from the affiliation string stored in ADS using string processing software. If the author has moved country since publishing their most recent article, then the country will not be correct.

Field
The journal keywords found with the author's articles are processed to determine if the author predominantly belongs to solar physics (S) or heliospheric physics (H) or both (SH). This may not be accurate if there are few keywords.

Keywords
This displays the four most common journal keywords used by the author, separated by semi-colons. The complete set of keywords and their frequencies are given in the Keywords link (see below).

Links
Four web links are given here. ORCID links to the author's ORCID page; ADS links to a page at ADS that shows the results of querying on the author's ORCID iD; Keywords links to a table containing all of the author's journal keywords; and Affils links to a table containing the list of the author's affiliations during their career (derived from their publications). If one or more of the affiliations is not in a standard format (see comments above about affiliations), then you may see the affiliation repeated multiple times due to slightly different formats.
