General Notes

due to the numerous requests from the users, to improve accuracy and to remove ambiguity we have discontinued the following features:

• tagging of primary and non-primary authors (John Smith -> John Smith*)
• algorithmic name disambiguation (J Smith -> John Smith)

these features will not be included in the future general releases of Authoratory, but are still available as add-ons for selected subscribers
