Making authors standard

aardbewoner · Today, 04:00 AM

Looking for the best way to make authors standard,as now a name can be written many ways like Isaac Asimov Isaac,Asimov Isaac-Asimov Isaac.Asimov and I Asimov.
What is the best way to bulk change all to Isaac Asimov.
And that for all authors and for the whole library.

The Quality Check plugin has options to bulk change author names and initials, but it won't help with any kind of messy metadata. From your example some manual work will be required.
