Surname First
Names of authors from China (and certain countries) may be indexed in with surname first followed by the initial of the given name or, less frequently, with given name first, followed by the initial of the surname. Thus, it is a good idea to search for both forms. For example:
Enter Lin Y* OR Tang L* to find papers authored by Lin Yu Tang.
