Is every paper on your CV really yours? Automated imports occasionally attach a publication by a near-namesake to a researcher’s profile, and few things read worse in front of a hiring panel than a paper the candidate cannot explain. Axe Builder, our resume builder for researchers, turns an ORCID iD into an academic resume with citations, h-index, journal quartiles and Crossref data already in place. Since 9 July, it checks the author list of every imported paper for your name.
When a publication’s author list does not contain your name, the editor flags it, a navigator takes you through the flagged entries one by one, and the PDF export shows a warning for as long as any remain. The matching is built for academic names as they actually appear in author lists, with initials, middle names, variant spellings, romanisations and Cyrillic forms, so your own papers pass under every form of your name and only the publications that belong to someone else are flagged.
Why a university panel checks authorship first
A hiring panel verifies a publication list by sampling: a reviewer opens three papers and looks for the candidate’s name in each. If one of the three belongs to someone else, the panel re-reads the whole list with suspicion. Axe Talent runs that sampling for universities, and the builder now runs it for you on the day you import, before a reviewer opens the first of those three papers.
