Jim?When asked about the most vital aspect of corporate governance for a manufacturing/distributing firm, Jim Johnson commented that “setting the expectations within the organization that all personnel will act ethically and in accordance with laws” is of most importance.
What kind of paper/article/story is this? Using the title "Mr." is a sign of deference and should really only be used in the appropriate context i.e. requesting a grant, loan, admission, etc. Otherwise full name is fine (Jim Johnson).The person has already been identified earlier in the paper as Mr. Jim Johnson (first appearance)
This. I work as an editor and that is the standard I follow.BigAppleBuckeye wrote: Johnson ... I went to Journalism School, and according to AP Style, it would just be "Johnson" as the 2nd reference and every one after.
Thanks. That's what I thought ("deference"). The paper is a scholarly work.Mohican00 wrote:What kind of paper/article/story is this?

Once that is established "Johnson" should suffice throughout the remainder of the paper. Only problem would be another person identified with the same last name (Johnson) in which you would want to continue to use full names to distinguish identities.

That's the opposite of what I was taught in Legal Writing, but it makes sense. That said, for something of general consumption I think it reads better to simply use the last name.fan_from_texas wrote: When we file anything with a judge, we use Mr/Ms for subsequent designations.

I should clarify--that's how we refer to witnesses/parties, not the judge, when we file something with a judge.fiction wrote:That's the opposite of what I was taught in Legal Writing, but it makes sense.
