- W2017001571 abstract "The issue raised in an earlier Correspondence letter (Jan 25, p 351)1Fernández E Garcia AM Accuracy of referencing of Spanish names in Medline.Lancet. 2003; 361: 351-352Summary Full Text Full Text PDF PubMed Scopus (8) Google Scholar regarding errors in indexing Spanish names was investigated by us in detail in a study2Ruiz-Pérez R Delgado López-Cózar E Jiménez-Contreras E Spanish personal name variations in national and international biomedical databases: implications for information retrieval and bibliometric studies.J Med Libr Assoc. 2002; 90: 411-430PubMed Google Scholar that measured variability in Medline and Science Citation Index. The main problem is that indexing algorithms designed for Anglo-Saxon names are inappropriate for handling the structure of Spanish names. However, Fernández and Garciá do not give the National Library of Medicine due credit for their efforts to adapt their indexing practices to Spanish names. In the sample we studied, we noted that Medline correctly indexes most Spanish names (89·3%). The type of example given by Fernández and García (Juan Ramón González being indexed as Ramon Gonzalez J instead of Gonzalez JR) would account for only 0·3% of all errors. Medline's indexing algorithm works correctly with Spanish names consisting of three elements; what it cannot do is distinguish whether the second name in a sequence of three elements is a middle name or a first surname. By contrast, the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) databases contain more errors. The general rule followed by the ISI is that the final name presented is taken as the surname—this rule applies to all languages. All other names presented are processed as initials. Even so, 76% of all Spanish names are correctly indexed in these sources. We suspect that about half of all Spanish authors might take precautions to adapt their name to Anglo-Saxon structures for articles they know will be indexed in Science Citation Index and other ISI sources, either by deleting their second surname or by hyphenating their two surnames. What do these indexing practices show? How can we explain the fact that about half of all Spanish authors seem to have lost their second surname? The answer is clear: bibliographic databases produced in English-speaking countries have been mishandling non-Anglo-Saxon names for years. As a survival strategy, Spanish-speaking authors— and perhaps those in other countries— have been adapting their name to the English structure." @default.
