information about publication list
If you already know what you want, then you can go find it in either the
or in the
With time, expect the
to fill up, with both old and new stuff (some of the new stuff as PDF
only).
Feel free to cite me! To make it easier, here's a
BibTeX
file which contains nothing but my publications! Entries preceded by
ADS,
Google,
ORBi, or
ARIBIB
indicate in which, if any, databases the
corresponding entry appears (see next paragraph). Note that the
ARIBIB
information is available only until the middle of the year 2000.
You can decrease the load on my server by getting stuff from
arXiv
Google Scholar Citations,
or
ORBi,
but keep in mind that some of the information provided at these sites is
automatic and perhaps not 100% reliable. At
ORCID
I have essentially the same stuff I have at
Google Scholar Citations, which is not surprising since the
entries at
ORCID
were created by importing BibTeX exported from Google Scholar and adding
a bit more information.
The
public ADS library
which should contain the same publications as the query plus one due to
a different surname and a book I translated but did not write (so 99 in
total), but check both to be sure since the library is maintained by hand.
(Depending on what one is looking for, one or the other might be more
useful.) There are also libraries for
refereed publications in cosmology/astrophysics/astronomy
(28) and
other publications
(71) (i.e. not normal refereed publications and/or not about
cosmology/astrophysics/astronomy).
For more information about (including links to) my various publications,
see the lists below. Here, page numbers in bold italics
indicate that the main link to the official online version of the paper
provides free access to the full paper. Otherwise, only part is
available and/or some subscription is required. In such cases, if there
is another link to the official online version which provides free
access to the whole paper, this is listed separately before the DOI.
(Usually, it is a link to the abstract where one can find links to PDF
and, for all but the oldest papers, HTML versions.) (In order for this
to work, you might occasionally have to delete some obviously named
cookies from your computer and/or refresh your browser cache.) While
DOIs themselves should always be valid, the actual site they resolve to
can and does change. In some cases, DOIs now resolve to the same free,
full version as that listed immediately before the DOI. Scanned
articles at ADS are scans of the printed version, so this is another
option to access the official content. The PostScript and PDF files on
my site
should correspond, except for minor
matters of formatting, to the official versions, but keep in mind that
these have been updated by hand when correcting the proofs. (In some
cases, I don't have a self-generated PS or PDF file. Occasionally, this
is the case for papers where I didn't actually physically write the
paper and the original source has disappeared, so I have some scanned
version from ADS. Most such cases are pieces for The Observatory
which I did not write in LaTeX; here, I provide a PDF of the proof or,
when it has become available, a scan from ADS. Note that the
proofs might contain minor typos etc.)
A problem these days is having too many online publication lists, so
here is a guide:
- this page
:-
This page should be regarded as the master list.
-
ADS:
-
ADS is a tried and true traditional bibliographic database for
astronomy. While some others contain a few more things, it is almost
never wrong, and errors are corrected quickly by the friendly staff. I
thus try to make sure that it is accurate. Only disadvantage is that
the new site can be too slow for some folks.
-
Google Scholar:
-
Google has a bit more stuff than ADS, and usually finds stuff more
quickly, but it is not always correct. Even though I have disabled
automatic updates, sometimes after editing entries to correct them, my
changes are reverted. Use it with a reasonably large grain of salt. I
haven't found out how to contact a human in order to get obvious
mistakes corrected. Despite the complexity, the page loads reasonably
fast.
- ORBi
:-
Since I was affiliated with the University of Liège, I was
required to put publications (including full texts) on the university
server there. It is thus reasonably complete and contains more
information than the other databases for the period it covers. However,
it was maintained by hand, so there might be some typos. Also, stuff
went there only when an official version is available. I had planned
to keep it updated as long as it exists and at least as long as I was
affiliated with the University of Liège (enough so that they
maintain the database of my stuff; apparently being an alumnus is
enough). Interestingly, for a while the document most often downloaded
from there (e.g. on 2022-09-24) was my
Diplom thesis,
which is in German. On 2023-11-19 it was my
doctoral thesis
(also at the University of Liège). I am no longer a student
there and have no official affiliation, but could now access it as an
alumnus and so kept it updated for a while, but now, though it still
exists, I can't update it anymore.
- arXiv:
-
arXiv contains only stuff which I upload to arXiv, which is not
everything. I have
stopped submitting to arXiv until they change their policies
and also commented out links to my papers at arXiv (hence such tags are
no longer visible) until they clean up their act. (The fact that I
didn't delete them, but just commented them out, shows that I still have
hope that one day they will see the light.)
- ORCID
:-
I signed up for ORCID since arXiv recommended it, and in the meantime
several journals use it as well. The idea of having a unique author
identifier is a good one. However, I don't see the point of maintaining
a list of publications there. (It would be the obvious place, though,
for someone whose field is not covered by ADS or Google Scholar, and for
some might remove the need for a personal or institutional webserver for
publications.) However, publications on ADS now show up there
automatically, so I'll keep an eye on it.
- ARIBib
:-
ARIBib is a bibliographic database which goes back a long way; it stops
around the middle of 2000, due to more and more stuff becoming available
online. Hence, the list of my things there is static. A good resource
for older literature, though.
- inSpire
:-
Some of my stuff can be found there, but I've never done much with it.
My impression is that it is for particle physics what ADS is for
astronomy, though obviously there is some overlap. When I have time, if
it isn't too much trouble I might consider maintaining it like I do the
ADS list (i.e. make sure that it is up to date and correct);
in that case I would add links to inSpire for my stuff on this page.
UPDATE: I've found and claimed some more stuff, and requested that more
stuff be added to the database (which I can then claim). It now has
almost all of my refereed-journal papers (missing those in The
Observatory and a recent onewhich I have requested to be added). Like
at Google Scholar, it is not clear to me why some non-refereed stuff
shows up while other stuff, even though published in the same place,
does not. It appears that some cosmology/astrophysics/astronomy is
considered appropriate and some is not. Thus, my profile there will
probably always be incomplete. NEWER UPDATE: It now has all
refereed-journal publications except those from The Observatory, which
it considers not to be relevant to HEP. I agree, but neither are most
or all of my other refereed-journal publications. I had requested that
the latest papers be added; not sure if they would have been picked up
automatically had I waited longer. Since it will presumably be
incomplete regarding refereed-journal papers anyway, I see little point
in trying to make it complete with regard to other works, especially
since it is not clear what they would accept and what not and what
criteria are used. I noticed this because a job ad wanted a link to an
iNSPIRE profile.
- Researchgate:
-
I signed up there only because someone asked me to comment on something
(and I had to be signed up in order to do so). I've done little with it
and don't plan on maintaining a list there. There is thus no link to my
profile there, and I might delete it. UPDATE: I have now (2023-11-19)
deleted my profile there because of their new affiliation with MDPI.
- Academia.edu:
-
I don't recall ever doing anything with them, but I get regular emails
asking about my publications. Have now deleted my profile there after
a) too many emails and b) recommending a "Darwin was wrong" article from
someone with no qualifications (published by Springer;—while they
do have some good journals, many of which, though there is a
pay-to-publish gold OA option, also allow one to a) publish free of
charge, b) share one's author's accepted manuscript (immediately on a
personal website), and c) share the official version via a link
they provide, I wish that they would get out of the pay-to-publish
business with low-quality journals).
- other stuff:
-
Some sites might automatically set up some profile and spam me asking me
to join or whatever. I don't pay attention to stuff like that, so if a
site isn't mentioned in this list, it's probably one of those.
