Nota Bene (from `webofknowledge.com`)

AFFILIATION: When entering full names, do not use articles (a, an, the) and prepositions (of, in, for) in the name. For example, entering UNIV Pennsyvania is OK but entering University of Pennsylvania results in an error message.
AUTHOR: Enter the last name first followed by a space and the author's name (or initials).
