- Is it possible to publish under a nom de plume (pen name, pseudonym)?
- ... and still take credit for the work?
I may have a chance to publish with the professor I am working with soon and if I am on the list of authors I would like to use a nom de plume, but I would also like to use the publication to apply to graduate schools next time. Is it possible to have my cake and eat it in the case?
EDIT: Sorry for missing this out; The reason for wanting to publish under a nom de plume is that I would merely want my career to be tracked under a different name. Not to hide identity; I am perfectly fine with what EnergyNumbers was suggesting.
nom de plum
is literally translated asname of pen
orPen Name
in the past women were not always allowed to write or be published so they would use a nom de plum or pen name to get their works published, assuming a male pen name
