When I try to enter “PAM Dirac” or “UN Staff” as author of a book, JabRef complains that “Names are not in standard biblatex format”. If I leave only the initial uppercase they are accepted. (Yes, I know that I can disable checking, but seems too extreme a solution to me). Unfortunately in the biblatex documentation I don’t find which is the correct format for author names. Is JabRef too strict or there is a method to make the above names accepted? Thanks! Mario

Hi,
for corporate authors to be handled correctly, you should wrap them in an extra pair of curly braces, e.g. in the author field:
{PAM Dirac}
Thanks! Overlooking the obvious…
Actually, Mr Dirac is not a corporation but a mathematical physicist. You can simply add points after the initials: P. A. M. Dirac
should not print an error.
PAM Dirac was just an example. The real entry was something like “NERSC Staff”. Anyway, adding {} around solved the problem.
Anyway, I would like to bring to your attention that in biblatex the curly braces are silently added.
