What Counts as a Publication?
| Type | Publisher example | When to include |
|---|---|---|
| Research paper | NeurIPS, ACL, IEEE | Academic/research roles |
| Blog post | Dev.to, Medium, personal blog | If well-received (100+ likes/views) |
| Book or ebook | O'Reilly, self-published | Always |
| Conference talk | JSConf, PyCon | Use if no formal paper |
| Technical article | ACM Queue, InfoQ | Industry research roles |
Tips
- Include URLs for all publications — recruiters and hiring managers will click them
- Write clear summaries that explain the contribution, not just the topic
- Order by impact — research papers first, then industry articles, then blog posts
- For blog-heavy profiles, include only your top 3-5 posts to avoid clutter
Use Case
You are a researcher, technical writer, or developer with published work that you want to feature in your resume as evidence of thought leadership and expertise.
