American Physical Society [Heading in Chinese characters]. APSHiC. Journals to print author names in Chinese, Japanese and Korean. APS News 2008;17(2):1.
APS journals now allow authors to include their names in Chinese, Japanese, or Korean characters after the name is given in Latin characters. Since December this programme is offered throughout the Physical Review journals. Many names that are written in different characters become the same when transliterated. Showing the characters after the transliterated name removes the ambiguity and enables readers to know definitively whose work is whose. With time and experience, additional languages may be offered. Instructions for authors on how to supply the proper Unicode characters at the time of submission are at http://authors.aps.org/names.html.
