List All Publications

List publications in APA or other appropriate format.
Separate out different types of publications (e.g., refereed journal articles under one heading; book chapters under another heading; non-refereed articles under another, etc.).
Make it easy for reviewers to see which articles are published, in press, under review, etc. Headings can be helpful in organizing the list of publications.
If publications are available on-line ahead of being in print, note this.
Use special notation to identify student or postdoctoral co-authors (e.g., * by graduate students; ** by undergraduate students).
Clearly differentiate publications/creative activities performed at USU versus those of prior appointments, including graduate student and postdoctoral accomplishments. When discussing research accomplishments, talk both about your total body of publications and publications since being at USU.
For faculty being considered for promotion to Professor, clearly differentiate publications/creative activities performed since being promoted to Associate Professor, talk both about your total body of publications and publications since being promoted.
Include a citation analysis (e.g., total number of citations to your work, h-index, i10 index, m-index) and, when possible, provide field-specific context for the h-index.

Explicitly call out high-impact papers.
Put your citation rate in context in your field via normative data, comparison to peers, etc.

Clearly explain authorship sequence and practice in your field (e.g., if last author indicates senior author, state that). Remember that reviewers on central committee come from a variety of fields and most/all will not know the standards in your field – so be explicit about this.
Use brief (1-2 sentence) annotations to:

Provide evidence for the quality of your research publications/creative activities, including:

Research Funding

External Funding

List all funded grants using the following format (or something similar):
- Grant Title and Number.
- Funding Agency.
- Start and End Dates of Grant.
- Role and Percent Effort.
- Total funding amount (and total amount responsible for if not PI).
Specify if funding was competitive or non-competitive; if there is a mix of competitive/non-competitive funding, list these separately.
Offer additional clarification on role where your titling (e.g., PI, Co-I) does not in itself capture your contribution to securing funds or executing the associated project.
List all proposals submitted including those not funded as well as any currently under review. Make sure these are under a separate heading from funded grants.
- For proposals not funded, include information such as scores, reviewer comments, funding agency pay lines (if known), and strategy for resubmission.

Internal Funding

List any internal funds received for your research; do not include student grants (such as URCOs) in this section.

Clearly list all presentations at professional meetings using APA or other appropriate citation method.
For faculty being considered for promotion to Professor, clearly differentiate presentations performed since promotion to Associate Professor.
List International/National and Regional presentations under separate headings.
List invited presentations separately.
Include notation regarding student presenters.
Note any contextual factors (e.g., low acceptance rate for certain conferences; conferences that put more credence on presentations than posters) that may be important in understanding your impact.

List/discuss impact of other research activities. This may include patents, multi-media materials, creative accomplishments, etc.

If research is the main area of the role statement, include the 3-4 refereed publications or book chapters that were submitted to external reviewers as part of your external review packet.
