Have two academics ever published together?

Shows you how to use the Publish or Perish software to find out whether two academics have published together

Anne-Wil Harzing - (updated Sun 4 Feb 2024 14:16)

You might be interested to establish what two or more academics have published together. There might be lots of reasons for this. You may be looking for a good co-author and want to check whether they have published with someone you know well and trust. You may have read an article by these academics and wonder what else they have written together. Or you might simply be curious whether two academics you know well have ever worked together.

Whatever the reason, finding out whether two academics have published together couldn’t be easier. Just add both names in the author field, separated by AND, and you will get a nice list of publications that they have co-authored. As this is a fairly restrictive search, in most cases using family names only is sufficient, though if one or both of the authors’ names are very common you might need to add an initial or given name.

For example, the screenshot below shows that between 2007 and 2021 Markus Pudelko and I have co-authored 14 publications. As is reflected in the authorship order, the early publications were mainly based on his research, whereas the later publications were based on a collaborative project that I led. The presence of Sebastian Reiche (my former PhD student) and Helene Tenzer (a junior colleague of Markus at the time) as first authors in later publications shows our natural progression to senior authorship roles.
