Hi Emir
This is a great initiative, thanks for setting it up.
I have a question: isn't it usual to list authors like this: Lastname
Firstname?
Hi Mathieu:
I have thought several times about this. Authors name is shown in many
places:
- Page titles for their biographies
- Author field in publication infoboxes
- In cells in dynamic tables
- While exporting in BibTeX, CSV...
I think that every case is different, so, I'm open to suggestion about
when to use "Firstname Lastname" or "Lastname, Firstname".
I'd prefer calling it "Firstname FamilyName" or "FamilyName, Firstname".
It's clearer ...
Anyhow, this needs a change in how names are filled and probably it
requires a new semantic property, or split name into two chunks (or 3 for
middlename).
Regards,
emijrp
At present you have Firstname Lastname, as in:
Adam S
Alejandro L
Angela B
etc
Is this appropriate - sorry for being awkward!?
cheers,
Mathieu
