Searching for authors in databases like PubMed can feel a bit like finding a needle in a haystack (especially when you're faced with searching for entire departments of authors!). This new UX Database Tips Blog post, written by yours truly, has some tips for author searching PubMed; a discussion of some of PubMed's quirks for such searches; and an Excel workaround, which has saved me countless hours in generating searches for departments with 100+ authors.
Happy reading! May your search syntax be spotless, your internet connection swift, and your coffee (or tea) ever hot!
