analytics - How to perform approximate (fuzzy) name matching in R -


i have large data set, dedicated biological journals, being composed long time different people. so, data not in single format. example, in column "author" can find john smith, smith john, smith j , on while same person. can not perform simplest actions. example, can't figure out authors wrote articles.

is there way in r determine if majority of symbols in different names same, take them same elements?
