I prefer to be referred to by my middle name. How should I list my name on publications?
I'm not sure if this is correct, but in the past I have written: First initial. Middle name Last name.

2Reminds me of three distinguished lunar scientists who always used their middle name. When they coauthored a review with a third author, they made him use his middle name too as a joke. All three were named Taylor, resulting in the paper The Moon: A Taylor perspective. Note how they write their name - exactly as you offered.– GimelistMay 26, 2015 at 21:42

You can write your name however you prefer, so long as it is clear and consistent.
A good example of a person with your same situation, however, is Chris Anderson at Berkeley, whose publications list:
J. Christopher Anderson
As you can see, he has come to the exact same solution that you suggest.

18Just remember that once you've chosen a name, you should stick with it as much as possible—at least as far as publications are concerned!– aeismailMay 26, 2015 at 17:44
