Objectives: Personal identification in information systems, trivial task in software engineering when a passport number or email addresses are available, is a challenge when users' data cannot be stored or an email has been changed or shared. In particularly, it is a challenge in research management systems that aggregate recent academic articles, patents, data sets, and other findings and provide a link to their authors. Methods/Analysis: To achieve the project objectives, the authors have

In addition, they have calculated sensitivity for the process of person identification to the estimated amount of manual work on disambiguation. Findings: This paper proposes the approach and algorithms, which together are a solution for the personal identification process to ensure duplicate elimination. Novelty of the Study: The approach is suitable for systems with shared emails or user accounts.
