Instructions
Title
This is the combination of name and role, with the last name first, for the sake of alphabetized lists. Unless the role is “author”, it is included in parentheses at the end. This helps disambiguate in cases where the same person has credits in multiple roles across various references (e.g. author of one reference, editor of another, and provider of a foward for a third). For simplicity and brevity, the role of author is not included in parentheses, as most references only credit an author. Thus, the role of author is by far the largest percentage of credits that will be listed, and the role of author is to be assumed unless otherwise listed.
Use the form:
Last-Name, First-Name Middle-Name (Nickname) Suffix, Title, Post-Nominals (Role)
Example:
Doe, John Michael (Mike) Jr., Capt., R.N. <– role as author not included
Doe, John Michael (Mike) Jr., Capt., R.N. (editor)
Naturally, everything other than first and last name is optional.
Role
Select the appropriate role. Contact the administrator if a new role is needed.
