Only 17% used the advanced search option. On average, there were 5 articles in the lists that were not co-authored by participants (advanced search: 1.0 (SD 2.6) vs. 5.9 (SD 13.9), <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> value 0.02) and 3 articles co-authored by participants that did not appear in the lists (advanced search: 1.5 (SD 2.0) vs. 3.6 (SD 8.4), <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>-value 0.05). Although 82% were aware of <jats:italic>ORCID<\/jats:italic>, only 16% added all their articles (39% and 6% respectively for <jats:italic>ResearcherID<\/jats:italic>). <jats:italic>Conclusions:<\/jats:italic> When used by senior physicians, the advanced search in <jats:italic>PubMed<\/jats:italic> is accurate for retrieving authors\u2019 publications. Author identifiers are only used by a minority of physicians and are therefore not recommended in this context, as they would lead to inaccurate results.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s11192-020-03845-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,2]],"date-time":"2021-03-02T16:03:02Z","timestamp":1614700982000},"page":"4121-4135","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Accuracy of PubMed-based author lists of publications and use of author identifiers to address author name ambiguity: a cross-sectional study"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"126","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7616-0017","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Paul","family":"Sebo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sylvain","family":"de Lucia","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nathalie","family":"Vernaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"3845_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"135","DOI":"10.1080\/02763869.2016.1152139","volume":"35","author":"KG Akers","year":"2016","unstructured":"Akers, K.
