FULL NAME DATA:
In this internet age where it is so easy to find and contact scientists,
it makes sense to use a full first name, middle initial(s), and
family name(s) but many conflicting cultural conventions are associated
with parsing this collection of names. The family name(s) are needed for
alphabetization in author indices.
examples:
Jantzen, Robert T.
Fang, Li-Zhi
Bernardini, Maria Grazia (when both first names are used together as a double first name)
Rueda Hernandez, Jorge A. (South American, double family name no hyphen)
Della Valle, Massimo (European, double family name no hyphen)
Amelino-Camelia, Giovanni (hyphenated double family name)
di Castro, Nicola
