Update of bug #49913 (project octave):
Status: Fixed => Confirmed
Open/Closed: Closed => Open
_______________________________________________________
Follow-up Comment #3:
I'll re-open the report and let someone who does more publishing of academic
papers decide how to handle things. The question is whether there should be
an inconsistency between the recommended style in plain text which uses
"FirstName SecondName" and a built-in preference in BibTex for "SecondName,
FirstName".
Obvious ways to resolve this
1) Just make different recommendations based on plain text vs. BibTex
2) Change plain text and BibTex to use "SecondName, FirstName" syntax
3) Change BibTex to use "FirstName SecondName" despite it being a less popular
option
Note that the format used throughout the rest of Octave's manual is "FirstName
SecondName".
Try
cd doc/interpreter
grep '@cite' *.texi
to see instances. One example is
Reference: @nospell{N. J. Higham and F. Tisseur},
@cite{A block algorithm for matrix 1-norm estimation, with and
application to 1-norm @nospell{pseudospectra}},
@nospell{SIAM J. Matrix Anal. Appl.},
pp. 1185--1201, Vol 21, No. 4, 2000.
I would suggest that it is probably not worth flipping all citations in Octave
and this would lead to adopting solution #1 or #3.
