Use the <?$publications> alternate tag to insert a separator,
following this syntax
<$publications>item template<?$publications>separator</$publications>

I've just added it yesterday, so if you use the current nightly you
can use the following keys:
@componentsWithEtAlAfterOne
"A" or "A et al."
@componentsJoinedByAndWithEtAlAfterOne
"A" or "A and B" or "A et al."
@componentsJoinedByAndWithEtAlAfterTwo
"A" or "A and B" or "A, B, et al."
@componentsJoinedByCommaAndAndWithEtAlAfterThree
"A" or "A and B" or "A, B, and C" or "A, B, C, et al."
You can also use condition tags for that, something like:
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]<4?>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]/>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]><$name/>, </[EMAIL PROTECTED]/
>et al.
</[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
