- Spanish authors who sign with their official Spanish name (which includes two surnames and sometimes two first names) or who change their signing name over time will fi nd it more difficult to collect together their scientifi c output. Making use of experience with IraLIS (International Registry for Authors: Library and Information Science = Links to Identify Scientists; http://www.iralis.org), this study examines how authorities are registered in two Spanish OAI-PMH-compliant projects: Recercat and E-Prints Complutense. The authorities database of the two repositories analysed were downloaded. The style of signing - the recommended one should contain only two elements - was recorded by field of knowledge, using the topic classifi cation systems of the Intute project and the ANEP agency. The most commonly used signing style involved two surnames (76 % in Recercat and 94 % in E-Prints Complutense). The social sciences showed the greatest adoption of the recommended signing style (20 % of all records in this area). The adoption rate of the recommended signing style in both repositories was low, especially in E-Prints Complutense. The index of the use of the recommended signing style by knowledge fi eld reveals a true picture of these Open Access repositories. This information could allow awareness campaigns to be designed for different fields of knowledge. It might be thought that the most internationalised sciences and the authors of its literature would take signing style into account, but this does not seem to be the case. Indeed, the social sciences were those which most frequently followed the recommended system. The areas of technology, health and life sciences, the arts and humanities should be the subjects of awareness campaigns. Further work should study the possible differences in the use of signing style depending on who inputs information into databases.
