Question: How do I note publications, books, chapters, or abstracts “in press”?

Reply: Denote submissions accepted for publication by following the citation with "in press" or "accepted for publication."

Question: If my abstract gets published in full form, may I retain both the publication of the abstract and the publication of the article in my CV? If so, will this be perceived as “padding”?

Reply: Because both the abstract and full text have been published, they are considered separately accepted publications, one more detailed than the other. You may list both.

Question: How do I denote a sabbatical on my CV?

Reply: Note your sabbatical in appropriate chronological order, including the dates by month/year, type of leave, and location.

Question: I put myself through school during my undergraduate degree, and I graduated in six years. How may I reflect that on my CV?

Reply: If you are early in your career, do explain the delay in graduating by noting that you worked to put yourself through college.

Question: I left academe for a period of time then returned. Do I need to include this time on my academic CV?

Reply: Yes. Seach committees note gaps in time, which may look peculiar. List your positions in chronological order, including those spent outside academia.

Question: Do I/how do I list participation in conferences?

Reply: It is appropriate to include participation in conferences to which you are invited on the basis of expertise or if your participation is part of a merit-based, application process. You may demarcate invited presentations in the Presentations section of your CV. Participation in fellowships awarded on the basis of a competitive application process may be included in Honors and Awards.
