This Perl extension can extract author names and their affiliations from LaTeX files. It is designed to identify laboratory information and create clean lists of authors for academic publishing.
To utilize the module, the user can employ the SYNOPSIS, which provides examples of how to extract from a string with latex commands, from a latex file, and from a directory with latex files. The module searches for author and affiliation latex commands and tries to identify a collaboration name for articles on physics. This is especially beneficial for physics articles where there are numerous authors.
The output format for LaTeX::Authors includes an xml string and an html string. For the xml string, the output follows an < article > structure, where each author and affiliation is enclosed in < item > tags. More specifically, the xml output includes the author's name and the affiliated laboratories. Meanwhile, the html output provides various ways to display the authors' names and affiliations, either by author or laboratory.
Overall, LaTeX::Authors is an excellent tool for those working in physics who are aiming to consolidate their data from various input types into one streamlined output format.
