Source: how treat author verbatim and omit automatic creation of first name

Open typophyllum opened this issue 1 year ago • 2 comments

There is a book authored by the Centre for Overseas Pest Research. imagen

I am unable to render this correctly. While the Nomenclator citations are correct, in the References TW always creates a false first name and truncates the real name, and it appears at the wrong place in the alphabethical order.

My best suggestion to use Anonymous as the author instead of organization. The organization could and should be added as a publisher.

The same happens with the source for asserted distributions that are derived from georeferenced specimens in the old OSF, "Species File Group", which is displayed as "Group, S.F.". "Anonymous" wouldn't make much sense there, and "Group" is equally incomprehensible.
