Abstract: Purpose - The underlying software issue related to cited 
references is the capability of the software to identify the specific work 
cited by a reference, and associate it with the correct author and 
journal. This paper aims to investigate this issue and to discuss the 
latest editions of Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus.
Design/methodology/approach - In this paper the strengths and weaknesses 
of the Distinct Author Set feature of WoS and the Author Details feature 
of Scopus are discussed.
Findings - The paper reveals that these tools will have an increasingly 
important role in refining the process of disambiguating author (and 
journal) names in calculating their h-index.
Originality/value - The paper provides useful information on software 
issues related to cited references and on the Distinct Author Set feature 
of WoS and the Author Details feature of Scopus.
