Multiple Last Names

Authors with multiple last names are added differently depending on the language. In Spanish-speaking areas a person may have two different surnames. Use the first surname to reference the person.

In Portuguese-speaking areas there can be two or three surnames. Use the last surname to reference the person:

Hint

If you enter more than three first names, Citavi assumes the name is an organization and saves the entire name in the Last name field. To enter more than three first names for a person, press the F9 key to open the Author editor window. Then, move the first names to the First name field.

Hyphenated names are always treated as a single last name and appear in the last name field.
