Best practice
Always use the correct form "have been published" when referring to works that have been made public. Double-check your grammar, especially the auxiliary verbs.
Common error
Avoid mixing up "have be" with "have been". "Have be" is grammatically incorrect. Remember that "been" is the past participle of "be" and is needed after "have" to form the present perfect passive voice.
