Just as a matter of interest, what about Jr. or III. If two people have the same name except for that indicator, how is it used, and do we use a comma or not; after all, the publishers do. So is it Martin Luther King, Jr. or Martin Luther king Jr., or martin Luther? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pratik Patel" <pratikp1@xxxxxxxxx>

Jonna,

Omiting Ph.d or M.D from an author's name is not illegal. I would consider those items as titles as well. They are, technically speaking, descriptors
of the author's status and thus are not required.

Seems to me that a better solution would be to omit the comma that usually
appears before M.D. or Ph.D.  When I think of a title, I think of Mr. or
Mrs. or Dr.  So, yes, that's definitely a comment that is easily
misunderstood.  I would think it would be kind of illegal, too, given the
fact that it's actually part of the author's name. Seems like the complete name of the author would be equally as important as the copyright name, the
inclusion of page breaks, etc.  Anyway, just my 2 cents' worth! <Smile>

I believe it has to do with the database and the fact that the database in
its present form will see phd md etc as a actual author.

The engineers are going to be busy particularly as this has been an issue
discussed on this list for over four years.

I do not understand leaving off MD and PHD.  If I am going to read a book

one
written by a doctor than I would a lay person or student. I think this is

a
disservice to bookshare.org readers, annoyed though Gustavo may be.

I just had a conversation with Gustavo.  He says that other people
understand his comments.  He was surprised I did not understand the
following to mean do not include PHD or MD in author's names.  To his
"title" means MD or PHD.  He seems extremely annoyed to be questioned.

Please do not include titles in author names. Please use a comma to
separate different
authors.
