Including Relevant Publications and Presentations
Highlighting relevant publications and presentations effectively showcases your research impact and scholarly contributions. This guide explains how to include them in your academic CV:
1. Publications
- List publications in reverse chronological order
- Separate by type: peer-reviewed articles, books, book chapters, conference proceedings
- Use a consistent citation style (APA, Chicago, etc.)
- Highlight top-tier journals or highly cited works
- Example
- Smith, J., & Doe, A. (2024). Digital strategy in higher education. *Journal of Strategy*, 35(2), 123–145. (Cited 28 times)
2. Selecting Relevant Publications
- Include publications most relevant to the position or research focus
- Optional: indicate selected or “highlighted” publications at the top of the list
- Avoid overwhelming the reader with minor or unrelated works
3. Presentations
- Include invited talks, conference presentations, workshops, and seminars
- Mention title, event, location, and date
- Optionally, note audience size or prestige of the event
- Example
- Presented "Digital Transformation in Universities" at the 2024 Academy of Management Annual Meeting (audience: 300+)
4. Organizing for Readability
- Group publications by type or topic if extensive
- Use bullet points or hanging indents for clarity
- Keep presentation listings concise but informative
5. Integrating Publications and Presentations
- Show how your research informs your teaching or service
- Highlight collaborations or interdisciplinary work
- Include any awards, recognitions, or citations relevant to your publications
Extra Tips
- Keep consistent formatting across all entries
- Include DOIs or links to publications when possible
- Prioritize quality over quantity
- Regularly update this section with new work
Common mistakes to avoid
- Listing every single publication without relevance
- Mixing different citation styles
- Forgetting to include important invited talks or keynote presentations
- Using vague titles or omitting details about events
- Overcrowding the section, reducing readability
Example Entries
- Peer-reviewed article: “Published 3 articles in top-tier strategy journals focusing on digital innovation.”
