1.4D2.
Option Decision:
Do no apply the optional provision of the rule.
Interpretation:
1. Form of name. Shorten the name or not, whichever is more efficient and effective in the particular case-according to judgment. Do not, however, attempt to judge how well the name is known internationally.
2. Retention of hierarchy. When the name of a non-commercial publisher is part of a hierarchy, generally do not omit parts of the hierarchy. In the case of commercial publications, omit unnecessary elements of the hierarchy or not-according to judgment.
3. Retention of terms of incorporation, etc. If "Inc.," "Ltd.," etc., appear after a serial title being recorded as a publisher, distributor, etc., retain it. Also when these elements follow other names retain them or not-according to judgment.
4. Omission of personal names. When a personal name appears in a statement of publishing because of legal requirements of the country (e.g., India), omit this personal name.
