Dear colleagues,
One of our staff has had a paper published in a high-ranking journal.
Unfortunately they spelt her surname wrong. The journal has published a
correction, but obviously what people citing her article will see is the
incorrect spelling. One person has contacted her to ask how she would
like the article to be cited.
Has anyone come across this problem before? We have not found any
guidance in our usual places for dealing with tricky citations. In the
current climate there are obviously implications for the bibliometrics
aspect of the research assessment if her surname is cited in a number of
different ways.
Your thoughts welcome.
Jenny
