After translation of this (http://www.jneurosci.org/content/29/23/7619.full) article first author's surname saved as "Heuvel", but must be "van den Heuvel".
But for this (http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/epi.12350/abstract;jsessionid=BFC720BFA9E3B9969442DC5553244E1A.f02t01?deniedAccessCustomisedMessage=&userIsAuthenticated=false) article all are working fine
I fear there isn't much we can do when publishers provide the name in its natural form (i.e. Martin van den Heuvel instead of van den Heuvel, Martin). Using just the last word as last name is the best guess we can make.
I do not know much about mechanism of translation, but in this particular case full stop can serve for separating surnames and name (i.e. Martijn P. van den Heuvel). Sorry if it's stupid guess.
Perhaps Zotero could make it easier to fix up names with incorrectly stored particles, though?
Currently the process is rather cumbersome. E.g. if a name is saved as "Heuvel", "Martijn P. van den" (two-field mode), I have to manually select the "van den" bit and cut and paste it before "Heuvel" in the surname field. A right-click menu option to toggle between having particles treated as dropping or non-dropping would be most welcome.
The period is not a stupid idea, but won't work. Some people e.g. have an initial before their first name: http://polisci.berkeley.edu/people/person/m-steven-fish there are likely other cases
Not sure about the rest. I also haven't looked at how we handle name particles in ZU.cleanAuthor in detail - so we could consider always including them with the last name.
MLZ has a menu to swap first and last names, but nothing to handle particles. I've been wanting a shortcut key to push individual characters back and forth between the first and last name fields (for botched Asian name splits), but haven't gotten around to it yet.

The parsing of particles in citeproc-js is done in util_names_render.js.
