| Nov 15, 2013 at 22:10 | comment | added | long | @JLG - nice link. The correct name of the institute will be as defined in its original charter. There will even be a difference between "The University of ..." and "University of ..." Sometimes, however, the colloquial names tend to confuse the issue, as people may commonly refer to the easier "Bigtown Uni" rather than the correct "The University of Bigtown". Scientific papers should always cite the correct name. | |
