I’m not sure if this applies to all citation styles, but at least for some I cannot achieve the correct display for hyphenated surnames. For example, I get:
Janabi H Al-, Keeley T, Mitchell P, Coast J. Can capabilities be self-reported? A think aloud study. Soc Sci Med. Elsevier Ltd; 2013;87: 116–122. doi:10.1016/j.socscimed.2013.03.035
When I want:
Al-Janabi H, Keeley T, Mitchell P, Coast J. Can capabilities be self-reported? A think aloud study. Soc Sci Med. Elsevier Ltd; 2013;87: 116–122. doi:10.1016/j.socscimed.2013.03.035
Is there anyway I can fix this without having to manually make changes within my document?
This is an interesting Problem… I don’t have it with hyphenated names and there is something specific about the name that doesn’t work. As a test, I made the last name Ali-Janabi, H and it worked fine. El-Janabi, H also works fine. Al-Janaba reverts to the same problem, so there is something with the Al- that creates an issue. Actually, it didn’t like Al- anything in the last name.
Thanks for helping debugging this case. The problem seems to lie somewhere deep down in citeproc-js (https://bitbucket.org/fbennett/citeproc-js/wiki/Home), the engine we use for formatting the citations. We will contact the developers there.
I am having a similar problem with a multiple-word surname.
The author’s last name is “De La Torre”, but when I go to format citations Paperpile switches the in-text citation to “La Torre”. The bibliography entry looks like this:
La Torre, M. De, & Gwynne, J. (2009). When Schools Close: Effects on Displaced Students in Chicago Public Schools. Chicago, IL: Consortium on Chicago School Research.
When I’d like it to look like this:
De La Torre, M., & Gwynne, J. (2009). When Schools Close: Effects on Displaced Students in Chicago Public Schools. Chicago, IL: Consortium on Chicago School Research.
On a related note. Is it possible to include search results with either of the two names in a hyphenated surname ? Right now I don’t get any results if I say search for Philippe when the surname is Jean-Philippe.
That is a built-in feature of the citation processing engine (citeproc-js) we are using. I am no expert on Spanish names, but his entry here suggests that this is the correct behavior: http://www.ccc.commnet.edu/library/mla/alphabetical.shtml
“For Spanish names, de comes after the first name”.
Surnames regardless of being hyphenated are currently not in the search index, it is only the last name that is indexed. If this becomes a more requested feature, we will consider adding it.
I am still having this problem - ‘du Maurier, Daphne’ becomes ‘Maurier, Daphne du’
What is interesting is it went away and now in the new version of paperpile it appears correct in the citation field at the bottom (love this feature), but not when cited in papers.
Thanks for any support :).
I am citing directly from the ‘cite’ link on the chrome browser and using word for windows with the plugin.
Thank you for reporting, @jesshooks. Can you let us know what citation style you have selected in the Word plugin and in the new app so that the team can try to reproduce?
