# When adding a citation, how to correctly display author's last name when it is two words long?

If you are citing a paper whose authors have a two word last name (e.g. "Van Emmerick") you want to have both words displayed in your web and exported view. In most cases, this is already handled in the metadata by our bibliographic sources. But if you don't see a citation as "Van Emmerick, 2017" then edit the bibliographic record to include the full last name included inside curly braces.
