I am citing several papers from China. One author is named “I-Chung Lu”. Endntote is abbreviating this as “I.-C. Lu” in my style format. Is this the correct way to abbreviate his/her name? Does anyone have any experience with this?
the best way to enter manually any authors are (one per line) is
Lu, I. C.
complete with comma, periods, and spaces.
always Surname first then the first name and any middle name (and as I said, I prefer initials and most databases bring down initials. I haven’t ever really worried about the hyphenated vs stand alone initials.
