The authors of the UV must always include the University of Valencia when they have to enter their affiliation data in all their scientific production (research articles, books, presentations and other publications).

In accordance with article 1 of the University Statutes and article 7.1 of the University of Valencia's Language Use Regulations , "the name of the University of Valencia must be in Valencian only". In addition, it must be taken into account that the official names of the departments, centers and services of the University of Valencia must be written in its own language.

Although different structural levels are used, under no circumstances can the mention of the University of Valencia be omitted, and the following order must be respected:

1. Research group
2. Department
3. Center or Institute
4. University of Valencia

Likewise, the postal address, city and corresponding country must be added, the latter in its English form.

• Library and Documentation Service of the UV, Standardization of the scientific signature of the authors of the University of Valencia

It is advisable to standardize the signature at the beginning of the research career. In other words, always use the same form of the name to identify the author as clearly and unambiguously as possible.

As a general rule:

Name:

• Always developed and avoid initials.
• Compound names are joined with a hyphen:  María-José
• Abbreviations such as Vte, Mª , etc. are not used.

Surnames:

• Use a single surname if it is sufficiently recognizable and does not lead to misunderstandings: Moracho, Antonio, although the 2 surnames joined by a hyphen is the most unequivocal.
• In more common surnames, the 2 surnames joined by a hyphen are preferably used: Caballero-Plasencia, Antonio
• If the surname contains particles, they are also joined with hyphens: García-de-la-Torre, Carlos
• Do not use abbreviations such as Mz . , Rguez , etc.
