author initials inconsistency about academicresearchercv HOT 2 CLOSED

I am really glad other people are also using the template and found it useful. I have gone through the code now and realised that it is in that format because of the style: authoryear which is used. In this style the first author has their surname first and then initials and all other authors are the other way around.

I have tried to change the style to numeric and ieee, however, that causes additional problems as the numbering is then forced which breaks the template. I will update the current template in due time, however, for now an ugly hack which you can use is the following:

%-------------------Including Biblatex package-------------------------------------------------------------

\usepackage[url=false,
backend=biber, % This can be set to either biber or bibtex. If references are missing just change back and forth between biber and bibtex..
style=authoryear,
doi=false,
isbn=false,
backref=false,
dashed=false, % Do not add a dash out authors for subsequent articles with the same authors.
maxnames=99, % Amount of authors to include before abbreviating.
sorting=ydnt]{biblatex} % Sorting in reverse order

In the above section, you should change the style section. Change it to the following and it should give the correct order of initial, surname:

%-------------------Including Biblatex package-------------------------------------------------------------

\usepackage[url=false,
backend=biber, % This can be set to either biber or bibtex. If references are missing just change back and forth between biber and bibtex..
style=standard,
doi=false,
isbn=false,
backref=false,
dashed=false, % Do not add a dash out authors for subsequent articles with the same authors.
maxnames=99, % Amount of authors to include before abbreviating.
sorting=ydnt]{biblatex} % Sorting in reverse order

Please take note, it does give compilation errors then, but as far as I can see it does not have any impact on the referencing section.

I will try to update a style sheet for the IEEE format within July. Thank you for bringing up this issue.

Yeah I also noticed that changing the style doesn't work. Thanks for the workaround, I'll try!
