Learn English – Word for person who has published academic paper

single-word-requests

I'm looking for an adjective to describe someone who has published academic papers under his name. Example usage:

"I'd like to work alongside the ________ Dr. Bob"

I was thinking something like "published" (the published Dr. Bob) but I couldn't find confirmation. Any thoughts? Thanks.

I am not sure if there's an adjective to prefix before someone's name to denote that they are a published author. With a slight twist to your example sentence, you can use published in its adjective form to convey this meaning.

"I'd like to work alongside Dr. Bob, a published author"
