Ensure that the line on the spreadsheet is a work written by a UMBC author. If the discipline is the same as the UMBC person with that name, and their affiliation is given as University of Maryland (UMCP), or the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB), you can assume that it’s the UMBC person (unless you know from your previous research that they were at UMB or UMCP for part of their career and the work was written during that time).
Check the affiliation of the person whose works we’re checking on the work and it’s metadata.
If the affiliation of the person whose works we’re checking is incorrect on the work, find a way to contact the publisher using their website.
Report the incorrect affiliation to them using this wording: “On the work “[title]”, here [link to the work], [Name of the author]'s affiliation is erroneously given as the [wrong affiliation]. [Author] doesn’t work for [wrong affiliation], but the for the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Giving the wrong university credit for our authors works negatively impacts citations counts and university rankings. Please correct this so the correct university is credited for this work.
In the notes column for the work, record “publisher emailed [date}].”
If there are more than 1 of these, email this to the UMBC author: “When other Universities are credited for UMBC faculties' work, it negatively impacts UMBC's international rankings. As part of work to ensure that UMBC is credited for citations for UMBC Faculty's publications, I'm going through your works in Web of Science and having them correct your affiliation where they have it wrong.
I've noticed that your affiliation is incorrectly given as the University of Maryland, Baltimore, on a few of your works, and Web of Science requires that the publisher make the correction before they'll do so, so I've been asking your publishers to fix these. I wanted to let you know because they may reach out to you to confirm the correction.”
If the affiliation is correct on the work, check the affiliations column on the spreadsheet on to see which university was recorded as the person’s affiliation. In the notes column, for the work add: “The publisher’s metadata gives the affiliation of [author] as the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, but you’ve erroneously given [her/his] affiliation as [wrong university]. Please correct”
