Automatic Term Mapping (continued)

The Full Author Translation Table includes:

Full author names for articles published from 2002 forward, and to journals that publish using the full names of authors.

Full author names can be entered in natural or inverted order: [Show Me]

julia s wong
wong julia s

Omit periods after initials, and put all suffixes (e.g., Jr) at the end. When searching a full name in inverted order, a comma following the last name is generally optional:

herron bruce j
herron, bruce j

However, for some names it is necessary to distinguish which name is the last name. [Show Me]

ryan, james
james, ryan

For more about searching by full author name, see the Full Author Searching section of the tutorial.
