English abbreviation rules

1. Abbreviations only abbreviate first names, not surnames;

2. Whether in the East or in the West, abbreviated names are written in the form of surname first and name last; ?

3. All capitalized names of magazine authors must be surnames;

4. Omit all abbreviations, such as R. Brain Haynes abbreviated as Haynes RB, Edward J. Huth abbreviated as Hutej, etc. ?

But there are some special cases:

(1)Maeve O'Conner, the correct abbreviation should be O'Conner M, some people will think it is a typographical error according to English word formation habits, and think OconnerM?

(2) There are also compound surnames abroad, such as Juliec. Fanbury-Smith and Hartly Lorberboum-Galski are called Fanbury-Smith JC and Lorbertoum-Galski HL respectively.

(3) The name contains prefixes de, des, du, la, dal, la, von, den, der, etc. , prefix and surname are arranged in alphabetical order as a whole. Spaces and uppercase and lowercase letters between words do not affect the arrangement. For example, Kinder Von Werder is abbreviated as VonWerder K and cannot be written as Werder KV ...

(4) Foreign magazines require authors to give their degrees and societies after signing their names, and the names of degrees and societies are also abbreviated. PhD (Doctor of Philosophy), SM (Master of Science) and MBA (Master of Management) are all common degrees, and the names of clubs are generally abbreviated. For example, RSC stands for the Royal Chemical Society. The author of a paper is Edward J. Huth, MD, PhD, ICMJE ICMJE indicates Edward J. Huth is the author's name, MD and PhD indicate that the author is a doctor of medicine and a doctor of philosophy, and ICMJE indicates that the author is a member of the editorial board of international medical journals.
