Nov 20, 2012 at 14:50 comment added F'x @dmckee I had to look up what MPU meant… It probably is related to some extent. The most common situation I see is having one or two staff researchers as authors common to multiple papers, along with a post-doc. As post-docs come and go, authorship changes along time on related (but not necessarily sequential) papers.

Nov 20, 2012 at 13:38 comment added user102 @F'x: it's weird to write (I've been there :)), but it's not that weird to read actually, and I guess that would be the best thing to do.

Nov 20, 2012 at 13:08 comment added F'x In a paper by X and others, it seems a bit weird to write “X et al. have shown that…”
Nov 20, 2012 at 13:07 comment added gerrit I would avoid it altogether, why not simply write B1 et. al have shown that...?
