Hi Chelsea Lee. I spent some more time looking into this. This seems odd as it breaks the last name. Take mathematician John von Neumann and citations of his work on "von Neumann Entropy":
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_von_Neumann#Von_Neumann_Entropy
You say APA would suggest breaking the last name and stripping away its first (prefix) part - an in-text citation should thus read:
...von Neumann Entropy was discovered... (Neumann, 1920)
and even stranger:
Neumann (1920) first discovered von Neumann entropy and applied it to questions of statistical physics.
?
Could you provide APA's guidance on this?

Great! Follow-up question on this: de Sena is the last name and we agree that it should be sorted under S (Sena, Andrea de).
However, according to APA, what is the correct in-text citation then?
Option 1: Lorem ipsum (de Sena, 2018)?
or
Option 2: Lorem ipsum (Sena, 2018)?
My sense is that it should be the first of these two options (again, "de" is a prefix that is part of the last name, not part of the first name). However, I wouldn't know of any citation manager that supports this option... What does APA say?
Thanks for answering - I very much appreciate it!

Hi. Thanks for this post. Chelsea Lee (@chelsealee), what you're saying is at odds with the IFLA's take on this - see here:
www.ifla.org/files/assets/cataloguing/pubs/names-of-persons_1996.pdf
For your example of a French surname with a prefix, see page 69, which provides
Musset, Alfred de
La Fontaine, Jean de
Just as in the 2009 update for France: https://www.ifla.org/files/assets/cataloguing/pubs/ifla_names_of_persons_france_2009.pdf
My own name is Portuguese - see page 186. I'd like to confirm the following:
Andrea de Sena, which should be sorted as
Sena, Andrea de
And again, the 2009 update for Portugal:
https://www.ifla.org/files/assets/cataloguing/pubs/ifla_names_of_persons_portugal_2009.pdf
Finally, this may be different for US names (page 252, where the prefix "De" is capitalized) - however, I'm referring to French and Portuguese cases here.
Could you point me to the respective section in the APA manual?
