AuthorMapper.com - Mapping Authors Out

In today’s global society, we often come across articles from authors hailing from places we can just not pinpoint. Of course, if we come across an article penned by a certain Takahashi Tanaka we know where does that person come from.

The same goes for an article authored by someone named Alessandro Luca. But what if the writer is named Luis Perez? Or John Stewart? How can we tell the writer’s country of origin? A site like Author Mapper has just surfaced in order to tackle that conundrum.



Generally speaking, it is a search engine that will empower you to look up journal articles and have the location of authors displayed on a Google Map that you can zoom in and out.

The subjects which are covered are truly ample, and it is safe to say there are no fields of research left unattended. From computer science and engineering to education and psychology, you will be able to geolocate authors in a very direct way. Note that using the site does not entail undergoing a registration process, so that if you are looking for a quick and unobtrusive point of reference on the web this will be up to the challenge.
