How Can We Help?
Name and affiliation renders on contentName and affiliation renders on content
All content types follow the below rendering logic for person associations (with special rules for research output noted at the end).
Name choice in render
Name strategy in render
The following rules are used to determine in what format the name is rendered:
1. If a name strategy has been set we use that strategy to render the name (Portal only)
2. Use LastCommaFirstNameInitial e.g. "John Doe" would be shown as "Doe, J."
Other rendering rules:
Language-oriented name rendering rules:
1. If both first and last name is Korean, Japanese or Chinese we do not render a comma between first and last name and always use the full name instead of initials
2. If the first name is Arabic we only use the first word to create initials from (e.g. John son of Harry becomes just J.)
3. Nicknames are not rendered as part of the name (definition of nickname is using either quotes or parentheses e.g. "JJ" or (JJ))
4. A first name with a hyphen will be shown with the hyphen and the connected words will be shown as initials (e.g. Hans-Peter becomes H.-P.)
Special rules for research output content type:
- Role is not rendered if the role is “Author”
- Organisations are not rendered after the name / role
- Authors are rendered on one line (compared to other renders that render each author on each line)
- Long renders show first 25 authors (with option to expand to see the rest)
