Writing order of Chinese names

can anyone tell me whether the written Chinese name should be in the order of "surname + given name", or another way around? And of course, in academic writing. I am a PhD student in Bristol, I receive the report from my examiners saying that I should put surname in front for Chinese names. I've been awarded that some of the academic articles displaying Chinese names in this order, but some are not. Could anyone one tell me which way is correct for academic writing? So frustrated...
