Is there a proper way to list author names?
Your author name can be whatever you wish. Many authors use their real name, full name, or first and last with a middle initial. While there are no set rules for your author name, there are a few guidelines for specific titles. For instance, if you wish to include a title, such as “doctor,” choose either “Dr.” before your name, or “Ph.D” after your name – not both. Check proper punctuation for any kind of title, whether or not to include periods, or whether or not to separate with a comma.
