Please, don't make the same mistake as Google, refering to my publications as D.G. Ruiz! Gavilan is not my middle name, but my surname. Please use D. Gavilan.
The problem is that in Spain we have two surnames, father's and mother's. In some of my old publications, I used to write both surnames, writing them in capital letters, as opposed to the first name. But then I noticed that I was being referenced wrongly in most cases. To avoid this, some people writes a hyphen between the two surnames, so I would be indexed "D. Gavilan-Ruiz", but I don't like hyphens, since it may seem that I should be called Mr. Gavilan-Ruiz (or "Gavilan-Ruiz san" in Japan), while the normal way in Spain is just using the first surname. Also, since Ruiz is not my middle name either, please don't write "D.R. Gavilan"! Some artists, like Picasso, choose to be called by their mother's surname (Picasso's full name is Pablo Ruiz Picasso, and Ruiz is his father's surname). But I am no artist. So, please, just use "D. Gavilan" in my references. Thank you!| Spanish | Mother tongue language |
