Moreover, for each resolution method, mallba provides three different implementations: sequential, parallel for local area networks, and parallel for wide area networks (currently under development). This paper shows the architecture of the mallba library, presents some of its skeletons and offers several computational results to show the viability of the approach. http://www.lsi.upc.es/∼mallba.

The hypothesis is that this new method is very trustworthy to normalize authors' addresses, easy and quick to obtain. As a way to test the method, a set of already hand-coded data is chosen to verify its reliability: 136,821 Spanish documents (2006-2008) downloaded previously from the Web of Science database. Unique addresses from this set were selected to produce a list of keywords representing various institutional sectors. Once the list of terms is obtained, addresses are standardized with this information and the result is compared to the previous hand-coded data. Some tests are done to analyze possible association between both systems (automatic and hand-coding), calculating measures of recall and precision, and some statistical directional and symmetric measures. The outcome shows a good relation between both methods. Although these results are quite general, this first overview of the address at the institutional sector level is a good way to develop a second approach for the selection of particular centers. This system has some new features because it provides a method based on the previous non-existence of master tables and it has a certain impact on the automation of tasks. The validity of the hypothesis has been proved taking into account not only the statistical measures, but also considering that the obtaining of general and detailed scientific output is less time-consuming and will be even less due to the feedback of the master tables reused for the same kind of data.

Productivity of both men and women increases with scientific category, and inter-gender differences are not found within each category. Women with intermediate levels of seniority (11-20 and 21-30 years of working life) show lower productivity than their male counterparts, factor which might contribute to the lower promotion observed for female scientists. However, women that entered CSIC in the last 10 years overpass men in productivity, so a more balanced distribution of women by scientific ranks would be expected in the future. The need to improve the normalisation of author names in publications and bibliographic databases and even to develop a "digital author identifier" to make these studies easier is pointed out.
