Hi there,

It seems to me that Calibre always assumes that 'author' is a physical person and applies divisions of names (e.g. "Black & Decker" becomes "Decker, Black"). For institutions and corporations, this makes no sense and differs from standards (see for instance examples 3 and 4 in this citation guide).

Do anyone have any idea how I can impose correct naming standards in my Calibre library?

If this is currently not easily possible then I suggest a feature whereby - for instance, single quotation marks around a name - will treat it as an institution/corporation.

Thanks!
