You have to extend the capabilities of the Thot Editor by using the Thot API
for comparing authors names and generating correct references.
See http://opera.inrialpes.fr/thot/doc/EditorArchi.html, the standard Thot
functions ( http://opera.inrialpes.fr/thot/Appman.html) and the API manual
(http://opera.inrialpes.fr/thot/APIman.html).
