Normalização de autoridade pessoal em repositório Institucional

Abstract

This article discusses about the results of the faceted search by personal authority held at the Institutional Repository of the Federal University of Ceará. The faceted search is a computer resource that allows the user to narrow the results of their query in databases that make this tool available. It is a descriptive study of a quantitative nature, whose data were collected from the Institutional Repository of the University, covering the entire period from 1999 to 2017. A random sample composed of one author for each unit was selected from among 11 Academic Units of the University. The following step was to check the amount of existing citations for each name as well as the amount of work introduced into each authors’ repository. Afterwards the form of the citations was verified by the name of the author who presented the largest amount of papers in the selected sample. It correlates the citations found for this type of author with the type of publication from which they were taken. The result of the search for personal authorship reveals the dispersion of the works of the same author as a consequence of the indexation of different citations to the same name. It considers the possibility of reviewing the indexed data before publishing them as well as consulting internal and external sources to the university that deal with the standardization of authors' names and standardizing the entries of the authors' names in the repository.
