How to write my Korean name in academic publications? [closed]

It seems like a common problem for people with Korean names. The standard seems to be that your family name goes last (while there are exceptions, this is how the IEEE does it). The rest of the name varies due to what I assume is personal preference.

As proof of the many styles, I've found some Koreans with the same name who have published scholarly works.

• Shin-Woo Kim.
• ShinWoo Kim
• Shin Woo Kim

It's also worth mentioning that I found a Shinwoo (but not a Shinwoo Kim).

Note that what type of abbreviation is used depends on what style of citation is used. For a hyphenated name and APA, for example:

If an author has a hyphen in his or her first name, use initials and maintain the hyphen in your citation.
Example: Larson, J.-P. (for John-Paul Larson)

(For Shin-Woo Kim, that would be Kim, S.-W.)

Consult your style guide (or advisor) for more information.

Given the variability of styles used, even within the IEEE's publications, I suggest that you pick whatever version you want, or ask and see what is recommended.
