Author identifiers are unique identifiers that allow authors to distinguish themselves from other researchers and to unambiguously associate themselves with their work. Author identifiers are unique identifiers assigned to researchers to prevent the author ambiguity problem within the scholarly community because researchers have the same first and last names. Digital Author Identifier (DAI) system assigns a unique number to all academic authors as a form of authority control

The benefits of Author Identifier system are: Less Ambiguity Less Ambiguity as to who has published a certain paper when different variations of an author’s name have been used Accurate Citations Ability to accurately measure citations of individual papers or authors Evaluation of Author’s Productivity Easier evaluation of an author’s productivity and impact in his/her field Data Storage Simplified data handling and storage; author identification only has to be stored in one place Richer cross- referencing possible e.g., search engines, browsers, and other applications can create links between an author’s biographical information and his/her published works Academic Network Opportunity to create new networks of data, e.g. academic Genealogies 10
