Thanks Bob, that is very useful indeed as a lot or my users want to know where the metadata is coming from if it’s not simply read in from the PDF and this will mean I can give them confidence they understand what’s going on. I’ll let the user know about checking the notes field as that would be much quicker than retyping if he’s desperate to give proper credit to articles by women which I think is his main motivation for being worried about replacing obviously female names with initials.
