Guillochon said:I'm currently building my CV...I have 2 published papers, and 2 unpublished papers. I'm curious if there's an official term I should be using for the unpublished papers...they are complete and have been submitted to a conference, but will not appear for a couple months. I've seen "Under Review," "Unpublished Works," etc. Anyone know what I should use?
Moonbear said::uhh: A paper submitted to a conference? Do you mean an abstract? If it's an abstract, it's not considered a paper since it isn't peer-reviewed. You can just put "submitted" in place of the volume and pages.
For actual manuscripts, if they are submitted for review, list them as "submitted," if they have been reviewed and accepted, but are not yet published, then they can be listed as "in press."
For someone who is still a student or post-doc, it is also acceptable to include a section on your CV of "Manuscripts in Preparation." Once you're past the training stage, though, and should have an established track record of publications, you shouldn't include those still in preparation anymore. It's basically a way of showing that you've been productive while training and what you plan to get published when you are at a stage of your training when you have very few publications already accepted.
Though, the best advice you can get will be from your research mentor who can guide you on any idiosyncracies of the specific field you're in.
Unpublished works on a CV can be labeled as "In Preparation," "Under Review," or "In Progress." These labels indicate that the work is not yet published, but is in the process of being completed or submitted for publication.
Yes, it is recommended to include unpublished works on your CV. This allows potential employers to see your current research interests and the progress you have made in your field.
For unpublished works, it is important to include the title, authors, and the status of the work (e.g. "In Preparation," "Under Review," or "In Progress"). You can also include a brief description of the work and any relevant details such as the expected publication date or the conference it was presented at.
No, unpublished works should not be counted as publications on a CV. Publications are typically considered to be works that have been published in a reputable journal or presented at a conference.
It is not necessary to provide a link to your unpublished works on your CV. However, if the work is available online, you can include the link for easy access by potential employers or colleagues.
