- When you need to correct the spelling of an address, or the name of a journal, be aware that you are editing the address or journal itself, and not the person or organization's connection to that shared address – so you will need to follow the link in VIVO to that separate entity to do the editing
- Publications may be assigned to the wrong author, and where two people have the same name it may be difficult to select the correct one from the pick list
- Will this correction be applied to the data source of reference? Does the error return at the next ingest?
- Some sources are ingested only once per semester, so it is difficult to track whether corrections are overridden.
- Because the data is not primarily maintained to benefit VIVO, the source office may not be responsive to VIVO’s issues.
- Again, a personal relationship with the data administrator can be very valuable.
