Reconcile names with bibliography-aware context
An author index organizes the people discussed in a book. Publication Intelligence reconciles names with the bibliography and page evidence so you can review identities and locators before export.
Identity review
Names in prose rarely arrive in one clean form
People appear by full name, surname, initials, or short citation—and different people can share the same form. Publication Intelligence keeps each candidate beside its passage so you can confirm identity and choose the display name.
Use the bibliography as context, not a substitute for the text
Bibliographic records help expand names and reconcile citation forms; the text shows whether an author receives substantive discussion. Review both before deciding which pages belong in the index.
Normalize cautiously
Keep ambiguous people separate until the evidence supports a match. Then verify every locator and apply consistent alphabetization, inversion, initials, transliteration, and qualifiers.
