Author Psuedonyms
Does anyone have a 'neat' way of associating author names
eg Jonathan Swift and Isaac Bickerstaff are the same dude. So if I look at Bickerstaff's books I should be able to see Swift's books BR |

A custom column titled Alias or AKA should work well. Or include both names in the author field (what I do) with the first author name the one publicly associated with the book.

Pseudonyms really needs to be 1 to many Off of the Authors Table, but then you need to master-lock the parent (Real name) until all the children names depart I sure wish there were Lookup tables that could be downloaded separately and grafted onto Calibre: pseudonyms/variants, Publisher Imprints (to map/correct/x-ref all those variations that show up) |

I agree with theducks sentiments
Making Swift & Bickerstaff as co-authors of everything they wrote sort of works - see attachment - but it relies on me remembering to put in both names and me remembering they are pseudonyms and not co authors If say Mahmoud Abbas publishes a paper with Ahmed Qurei then I could have Mahmoud Abbas, Ahmed Qurei, Abu Mazen & Abu Alaa as co-authors. The 'Abu's are Abbas' and Qurei's kunya names. I'm always been surprised that Calibre doesn't have a 'richer' Author table that includes pseudonyms. Its co author system works fine - book is stored under first author but shows up within each author tag, which is important to me as most of the 'books' I deal with have multiple authors. BR |
