Abstract: A model that validates author name disambiguation based on pairwise comparison of articles using information that is encoded in Medline fields is introduced. A free public service website is created taking the author's last name and first initial given on a specific article in Medline as input, where the output gives a list of all articles with that name ranked by decreasing similarity.
