you can also say "please see cv for complete list if you dont have enough space." im sure you can attach a cv, i saw it on Dr Gray's stuff

You cannot attach documents in AMCAS the last time I checked, so this is a bad suggestion. Maybe if you are applying MD/PHD (are you applying?), you could just highlight your last anticipated publication.

Do you have an ORCID? You can share your ORCID if anyone really wants to know. Most of us screeners dont't.

15 is way too many to list, and no one is going to read them or look them up unless you are applying to PhD programs or MD/PHD. If you want to turn off screeners, by all means.

You can put the link to your ORCID account which should list your publications for you. Use your application space wisely.

Your strategy of referring to your papers in your PS sounds like you are wasting precious characters for a citation and could make you sound pretentious.

I am not applying MD / PhD. Adcoms would be turned off by an applicant listing their accomplishments in peer reviewed research? Seems counter intuitive, especially given historical interest in publications by schools like Stanford.

Usually we tick off the research rubric once we see 1 peer reviewed paper (or similar accomplishment). Showing more than 2 is overkill. Giving us a full CV can smack of hubris.

BUT it works for PhD programs, which is why I asked. They focus on productivity and ability to get funded for fellowships or awards.

By all means if the Stanford or similar admissions officials instruct you differently, go with it. I just give my expertise working in admissions in the back end.

Get a Research Gate imo.

I had one W&A section for publications. I was able to list three, and then wrote 'A complete list of research items can be found at researchgate.net/profile/veer_'

That way anyone super interested in the full list can find it easily since researchgate URLs are really simple, and for everyone else they get what they needed to see from the other three I have listed. Also, I've heard it's appropriate to use AMA format.

That's quite impressive! Do not list.

I'd mention how many you have and how many of them were 1st/2nd authors. Then link to your ORCID/google scholar. If reviewers do check your ORCID, they can see additional information such as professional membership, funding, etc (information that you may not have provided in your primary application), which may put you in a more positive light.

I would then use your remaining characters to discuss more about these publications and why they're important to you, what impact they have, etc.

See this post by Catalystik regarding shortening the citation:

*~*~*~* Official AMCAS "Work/Activities" Tips Thread 2021-2026 *~*~*~*

@Catalystik For someone with significant nonclinical paid employment as well as certified teaching experience, do you still recommend categorizing teaching as paid employment over teaching/tutoring/ta? Ideally, you would balance your application and have something in each of the two categories...
