Use of "autres" instead of "d'autres" or "des autres"

Question

In the third paragraph beginning, "Dans les décennies qui suivent", the expression "autres" appears without a "d'" or a "des" preceeding it. According to the PwLF lesson, that's incorrect.

Accepted Answer

Hi Sydney, 
No, here the 'de' is not required as they are just saying -
several scientific works and other works of popular science = plusieurs ouvrages scientifiques et autres ouvrages de vulgarisation scientifique
If you were changing the subject matter you might say

several scientific works and some others on rap music =
plusieurs ouvrages scientifiques et d'autres sur la musique rap

Bonne Continuation!

Answer

Here is the relevant piece of the sentence you inquire about: Ils publient plusieurs ouvrages scientifiques et autres ouvrages.

In my understanding, d'autres ouvrages talks about an unspecified group of "some other work". Omitting de and saying autres ouvrages, the connotation is specific. It also parallels the first item in the enumeration: plusieurs ouvrages scientifiques.
