Name variants can be used to capture different variations of a persons original name (the name added in First and Last name in Person profile).

Effect of changing name:
- If you change your original name in CRIS, only future content is affected. Records created while you had your former name continue to show that former name. Content is not corrected backwards in time.
- You can also add this former name as a name variant, especially if you changed your name before beginning to use CRIS.
- When configuring Automated search, CRIS automatically suggests name variants to use for search query based on your original name and your default publishing name. You can manually add other variants.
- When matching persons in CRIS to authors of records imported from online sources, CRIS matches based on all name variants if no Scopus Author ID is present on the Person.
- It is not possible to use multiple Known as names. But other name variants can be added multiple times (please
- It should be strongly considered the specific usage of each type of name variant instead of creating multiple name for a name variant.

The most commonly used Author Identifiers:
