In an author profile on MathSciNet, you will often see two numbers for publications:\u00a0 Total Publications<\/strong> and Total Related Publications<\/strong>.\u00a0 What’s the difference?\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

The answer is that the first counts publications that you authored, such as a book or an article.\u00a0 The second counts publications that you had a part in, but didn’t author.\u00a0 Examples are books where you were the translator, conference proceedings where you were an editor, or a biography where you were the subject.\u00a0 Loosely speaking, a related publication is one in which your name is part of the bibliographic information, but you were not the author.<\/p>\n

Example<\/strong>:\u00a0 Aaron Bertram<\/a><\/p>\n

Bertram has 37 “regular” publications.\u00a0 Let’s look at the first few by clicking on “Publications” in the box just underneath the photo and the counts:<\/p>\n

In the bibliographic information, you can see that Bertram is an\u00a0editor\u00a0<\/em>of each of these.<\/p>\n

If you go to the listing for one of the items, you can see a new box labeled “Related”.<\/p>\n

\"MathSciNet<\/p>\n

This shows all the people associated to the item in some way other than as an author.\u00a0 In this case, it is listing the editors of the volume.\u00a0 The next example shows another possibility.<\/p>\n
