Re: [jats-list] JATS 1.2 Publishing vs CrossRef: single name tagging

["Bruce Rosenblum bruce@xxxxxxxxx" <jats-list-service@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Matt,

Little bit of history: the Crossref documentation that you cite was written
by me in 2001. Because at the time reliable indexing and querying required
a nonempty surname, the recommendation was made to place single author
names in surname. The Crossref platform has, of course, evolved a lot in
eighteen years, and so the documentation may be out of date, that would be
a question for Crossref to answer.
