5.1 Complete Dataset Overview

4947 unique publication places; available for 956556 documents (81%).
0 ambiguous publication places; some of these can be possibly resolved by checking that the the synonyme list does not contain multiple versions of the final name (case sensitive).
0 unknown place names These terms do not map to any known place on the synonyme list; either because they require further cleaning or have not yet been encountered in the analyses. Terms that are clearly not place names can be added to stopwords; borderline cases that are not accepted as place names can be added as NA on the synonyme list.
196 discarded place names These terms are potential place names but with a closer check have been explicitly rejected on the synonyme list
Conversions from the original to the accepted place names

NOTE: possible improvements should not be done in this output summary but instead in the country mapping file.
