Springerlink author name problem

Hi, There seems to be a recurring problem when importing references from springerlink where the author name's need to be corrected manually after importing. The first and last names appear on separate lines, and both are interpreted as last names. See for example:

Cheers, Dave

It's because the article was originally pulled - incorrecly - from an RSS feed. There's a problem with the RSS when there's more than one author, so the authors get messed-up. There's a plan to do something about this, but it's not trivial, unfortunately.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
