Is it OK to put a single paper under 'Publications' in a resume?

AI Thread Summary
A physics major inquired about including their name on a research paper as a publication on their resume, despite being listed as a third author. The consensus among respondents affirmed that it is appropriate to list the paper under 'Publications' since the individual contributed to the work and is credited as an author. The discussion emphasized the significance of this accomplishment, especially for an undergraduate, and encouraged the individual to ensure their resume includes all relevant details, while also suggesting that they continue to build their publication record.

Hi,

I am a Physics Major,
last summer I did a project in a professor's lab
the project produced a paper
the professor and post-doc put my name in the author section (not first or second)

So my question is, is it OK (appropriate) to put the paper under 'Publications' under my resume?
I am not the first/second author and I only have one paper with my name on it.

I am still in undergraduate btw.
The resume is needed for a program in my department.

Yes, you were part of that work and are credited as an author. It doesn't matter that you're 3rd author (doesn't matter as so far as whether or not you're allowed to put it on a CV/Resume).
 
..or under the heading 'Publication'. ;)
 
hint: 1 > 0.

Make sure it's not your only paper :)
 
You can put your details in a single page but make sure to add all your important details in your resume.
