I am currently writing emails to potential grad school advisers. I have no past publications, however I am about to write a paper (1st or 2nd author) as well as an honors thesis. Should I list these on my CV?
The purpose of including an in-progress paper or thesis on a CV is to showcase your ongoing research and academic projects. It can demonstrate your dedication and commitment to your field of study, and highlight your potential for future research and publications.
You can list an in-progress paper or thesis on your CV by including the title, name of the journal or conference, and the expected date of completion or submission. You can also mention any co-authors or collaborators and provide a brief summary of the research project.
Yes, it is beneficial to include in-progress papers or theses on your CV even if they are not yet published. It shows that you are actively engaged in research and can give potential employers or institutions an idea of the type of work you are currently working on.
No, it is not necessary to include all in-progress papers or theses on your CV. You should only include those that are relevant to your field of study and add value to your overall CV. It is more important to showcase the quality and significance of your research rather than the quantity.
If the in-progress paper or thesis is not directly related to your current field of study, it is best to not include it on your CV. However, if it demonstrates transferable skills or knowledge that can be beneficial in your current field, you can mention it briefly in a separate section or in your cover letter.
