Kamiruzzaman is my name. Although the last five letters zaman are typically used as a surname, my academic records all use the name Kamiruzzaman. However, I've been having trouble lately submitting research articles to various journals because they require my first and last names, mandatorily — I don't know how to respond.
I'm considering separating Kamiruzzaman into Kamiruz and Zaman as respective first and last names. Would it be an issue if I kept this separation for all of my research articles because my academic certifications will bear the name Kamiruzzaman?
You can use any name for publication purposes that you like as long as it doesn't involve fraud or misrepresentation. You can't be Albert Einstein unless you have some actual claim on that name.
