I have been wondering what is the perception of having non-romanised names in the authorship of papers? I've seen Chinese/Taiwanese authors doing this with their names. Admittedly, I did this for my 🦣 handle. But visually using is much easier to differentiate two names when they looks similar in romanised forms:
Chen 陳 vs. Cheng 程

@TerynceTeaches @MarkHanson @academicchatter
names are on the other hand easier to distinct as their surnames are ususally multiple syllable and hardly common

@kofanchen @TerynceTeaches @academicchatter KF Chen et al. makes good sense to me! Just that little bit of extra specificity. I might try to do that from hereon for those common last names. Thanks for bringing this up!
