Find sources by author

Find an author's publications in a specific field and add the ones you pick to your bibliography.

How to use this tool

Search an author’s name and list their publications, ready to copy as formatted references.

  1. Type the author’s name (and, if helpful, a topic to narrow it).
  2. Search; matching publications are listed — pick the right person by institution, ORCID and publication count.
  3. Pick a citation style and copy the formatted references you need.

1. Find the author

Type a name. Since several people may share a name, you choose the right author by institution and publication count.

Sources: OpenAlex.

How it works

Find an author's work and add it to your bibliography in three steps.

1

Find and select the author

Type a name (and optionally an institution). People sharing a name are listed separately; you pick the right one by institution, ORCID and publication count.

2

Enter the field / topic

Type the topic and sort by most-cited or newest. The system fetches only that author's publications on that topic from OpenAlex.

3

Select and add to your bibliography

Check the works you want, choose a citation style (APA 7, IEEE, Vancouver, MLA…), and copy the cleanly formatted entries with one click.
