SUMMARY

Citing a conference presentation on a resume should be done by treating it similarly to a published article. The citation must include the conference title, location, and abstract number, replacing the journal name and page number. If an abstract book is published, follow its specific citation format. This approach ensures clarity and professionalism in presenting academic contributions.

I have been researching with a professor for the past semester and he recently told me that I will be listed as third author on a conference presentation he will be making this summer.

I'd like to cite this on my resume, but I do not know how to cite it correctly, if there even is a correct way. Should it be separate from publications (he also plans on publishing the work in a journal eventually)? Should it be included with publications, but cited as a conference presentation? How do most people usually cite these things?

You cite the abstract the way you would cite a published article, except instead of the name of a journal you list the conference title and location, and the abstract number instead of a page number (unless there's a published abstract book, in which case use the format the abstract book says is the correct citation).
 
Thanks MB!
