Hi all!
I don't know if this is exactly the place for this question, but I can't think of another (so please correct me if here is wrong).
I'm writing my thesis in physics, and I'm quoting two articles by the same polish author. One is from a polish journal, where his name appears as "J. Pleba{\'n}ski" (an acute accent over the n); the other is in Physical Review, and they ommit the accent. Should I include the accent anyway, since that is the guy's name, or follow exactly how it appears in the journal?
cheers!
BibTeX, biblatex and biber ⇒ accented characters?

Re: accented characters?
In which way is this question related to LaTeX (or BibTeX, respectively)?

Re: accented characters?
Thorsten,
I know that this is not directly a question about BibTeX or LaTeX, but I can't find anywhere else to ask it and I think there are probably people around this forum with the answer. I apologise if I have posted in the wrong place.

Re: accented characters?
So you are only looking for opinions. From my point of it is self-evident that you use the correctly written name of the concerned person, which seems to be „J. Plebański“.
