When using biblio-gluton with grobid it looks only titles level a are consolidated

[frankrod]

Hi,

Currently I'm using biblio-glutton with Grobid and using the consolidation of references. However I've noticed that when references are consolidated, references with title level m are not consolidated.
Is that intended and if so I'd like to know why?
Thanks

Hi @frankrod

It's an interesting observation. I think you're correct, currently only the title level a and title level j (journal title) are used for consolidation. When a reference with only title level m is inputted, it will not be consolidated. In general, for the moment, the field title level m is not used for consolidation.

I think the reason is that we focused on consolidation against CrossRef where we have mainly articles (journal articles) and chapters (chapters from serials), and we don't have a lot of DOI at the level of the monograph in CrossRef.

The current plans for the future involves using a Machine Learning based pairwise comparison which would use all available fields. Another objective would be to cover more bibliographical databases without DOI, and for example consolidating against ISBN would be a way to match references to monographs/books.

Hi @kermitt2

Thanks you for the reply and detail response!

Using only CrossRef consolidation it does wok for those title level, I can't say it works for all but at least for the ones available it does, unless Grobid is giving wrong title level to the references in the extraction.

Would you be open to change that part and consolidate lvl m too when using biblio-glutton?
As it reads to me that might not break anything and would still consolidate some references when available.
