Prof. Soedarsono was productive in writing, sharing knowledge through the many books and articles he wrote on performing arts, Indonesian dances, wayang, and other traditional arts.

Prof. Kamsul Abraha had a track record well recognised by the wider public. People may see in Google scholar his long list of publications which showed his productivity.
