Presentation Transcript

  1. Matching records with titles

  2. Make an out-file based on the title field Next, run Edit out-files/Keep only 0-9 and A to Z characters

  3. The atz-file now only have a to z characters.Next, step is to truncate the words to a maximum length:1. select atz-file and run Edit outfiles/decompress blank separated out-file2. type for example 5 in the Min number box3. select the nnu-file and run Edit out-files/Keep only first n characters4. select the chr-file and run Edit out-files/Compress outfile (1 row per field) and then answer no for semicolon separation …

  4. …and now the nou file has titles with words no longer than 5 characters

  5. Let’s assume we wish to match the truncated titles with the full titles:1. Select the atz-file and run Edit out-files/Swap two columns2. Be sure to have the swp-file in box “Type new file name here” and then select the nou-file (with truncated titles)3. Run Add data classify/Match abbreviated words in full string and answer no to finding all matches4. The cll-file has the full titles to the right, and of course we get 100 percent hits since we match the same titles.

  6. In a more realistic setting you may need to match titles from two different sets, for example Web of Science titles with those of a publication database of an university. Then you will probably not find all titles from one set represented in the other. The not-file will contain missing titles in the truncated form.
