All Implemented Interfaces:

Comparator<Publication>

public class UnambiguousPublicationComparator
extends PublicationComparator

Unambiguous publication comparator. It will first compare IMEx identifiers (publication with IMEx will always come first). If both IMEx identifiers are not, it will only compare the identifiers (pubmed, then doi, then all identifiers) using UnambiguousExternalIdentifierComparator (publications with identifiers will always come first). If both publication identifiers are not set, it will look at first publication title (case insensitive), then the authors (order is taken into account), then the journal (case insensitive) and finally the publication date. - Two publications which are null are equals - The publication which is not null is before null.
