Citing Chinese Authors: First name is Family name


Citation in paragraphs for Chinese names follows the general rules: authorname is family name. The difference is, Western people put their family name in the last name (Ex. Clinton is the family name for Bill Clinton), but Chinese put in the first name.

Complete name: Goh Chok Tong (Goh is the family name)
Citation in the text: Goh (2005) or (Goh 2005)

Ref: Gaya UKM page 19-20

Write and Graduate! Success is in your hand.
