Formatting Author Names

To find an article written by a particular author, you need to follow the IEEE Xplore® rules for specifying author names:

·      Enter the last name first.

·      If you know the first name or initial, enter a space, followed by the initial, followed by a period (.). Do not enter a comma (,) after the last name and do not enter the entire first name.

·      If you know the middle name or initial, enter a space, followed by the initial, followed by a period (.).

·      Asian names appear as provided in the article or paper. If an Asian name includes a non-Asian first name, that part of the name is abbreviated to a first initial.

Examples

johnson j. w. <in> au

Matches Johnson, J.W. Does not match Johnson, J. (both initials must match) or Johnson, J.R.

 

johnson s. <in> au

Matches Johnson, S. or Johnson, S.L. Does not match Johnson, J. or Johnson, J.S.
