As of September 2021, PEP-Web no longer has an Author Index. Now, when you type in an author’s name using the new search features, the system has been engineered to be able to pick up all ways of presenting it.
Please note, when journal articles or books are added to the archive, the author area is not changed to make author names more consistent than they were in the printed publications (e.g., sometimes author names are published in different ways, with or without middle initials), thus author’s names can only be updated if what is presented on PEP-Web differs from the actual publication. In this case, please report it as a data error.
