<DIV class=WordSection1>
<P class=MsoNormal>Hi<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>We are currently reviewing how we add author names in to the
creators fields of eprints, e.g. do we use the same format as the official
source, do we use full names, or surname and initial.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I’d like to know if it is possible to configure a eprints
citation / view so that it only shows an initial for the forename, even if the
field itself contains a full version of the forename? <o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>This would allow us to store the full name where we have it,
while showing a consistent citation style of author names on the public
site.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Many thanks for any tips<o:p></o:p></P>
