Scott,

I hope I am not misiterpreting your question.

I think however a scientist decides to published their name
after marriage or for any reason, should predicate how it is
used and indexed.  Then it is up to the historical annals to
document the name change if warranted.

A number of my friends in the film and television business who
made names for themselves while single continue to use their
maden names in credits. Some have not.  Others have hyphenated
their maden and married names.  Their works are indexed by the
name that appears on the credits of the current film.

I would assume a scientist has the same personal choice and
should be respected for that choice.
