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

Hi Matt,

Sadly the documentation is not out of date but this is a timely question as
we're updating our contributor info -  we currently only index 'surname'
for reference matching, so names without a surname must be included in the
'surname' field for Crossref purposes.

We'll be addressing this in our next update, but for now we have to ask
that you commit tag abuse :(

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eighteen years, and so the documentation may be out of date, that would be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.
