When I import a bibtext file on /admin/config/bibcite/import the author name on the publication is different than the one on the bibtext file.

On the bibtext:
Author={Peireira da Silva, MDP},

On the imported publication:
MDP da Silva (1646)

Ideally, I would like the name to be "MDP Pereira da Silva". I don't know why bibcite changes it or where can I configure something like that. Is there a way to get the full author name?

Hello @adrianavaz
Name parser parse MDP as first name.
I think it is academic title.
Now it is impossible to setup parser options, but it can be done in future.

Now you can setup output name format on /admin/config/bibcite/settings/contributor/settings page to add middle name of contributor.
Thank you for your issue.

@AardWolf thank you for the quick answer.
MDP is actually correct as first name, the last name "da Silva" is the one getting cut off and should be "Pereira da Silva".
On the name format, I only have these available and I am using them on this order: @prefix @first_name @last_name @suffix - which one is the middle name?

Thank you!

Hi @adrianavaz.

Looks like "Available name parts" on the settings form shows incomplete list. Complete list is: @leading_title @last_name @middle_name @first_name @nick @suffix @prefix

Hope this helps.

Thanks @antongp, that helped. Adding @middle_name to the name pattern did the trick.
