These comparisons are performed in each term of the names of all the literature production of both profiles compared. Each term can contain a set of synonyms which are also considered in the comparison. The results are compiled and presented in a spreadsheet that contains the summaries of all the percentage of adhesion compared. The application of the algorithm which determines a set of people has more or less proximity and semantic link according to their academic productions when compared with other individuals, resulting in the percentage of similarity.
