Amnesty Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hello, I was wondering: During my summer research I had a change to gather data but havnt been able to use it my self to write a paper. However, a grad student did use some of my data for her research paper (for her PHD). And gave me appreciation in the end of the article. Would I include this under the publications section, and how? Thanks for you help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky222 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Technically if your name does not appear in the list of authors then it is not your publication and I would not list it on an application. People get acknowledged at the end of papers for all sorts of minor, albeit still valuable, contributions. For instance, I once acknowledged the meat shop butcher that provided me with animal bone samples (ie. dead carcasses) that I used in my research Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toothless Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 From my short experience with research, I learned that appreciations are meaningless. They do not go on your CV or anything. If you did contribute significantly and received an appreciation, you got screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amnesty Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 is it okay to not have anything in the publications area... even though i had an NSERC award? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liz001 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 so she only used few (minor) of my samples that she had been working on for a while and couldnt get but i managed to find a solution... yes, but your name still needs to appear as one of the actual authors to have it considered to be your paper. does anyone know what meeting abstracts are considered?

rocky222 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I emailed them about abstracts and posters/presentations but haven't got a response back. I'm assuming they want to hear about them but not sure how to classify them as such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky222 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 is it okay to not have anything in the publications area... even though i had an NSERC award? It's perfectly alright, especially if you are an undergrad student. I'd throw the NSERC thing under awards though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liz001 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 So, I got a reply from UBC about meeting abstracts and such. Basically they said to put it under whichever section you find most suitable, and that they won't penalize you for something you have actually done. So I guess don't worry about the section; just state clearly what the publication is and all the authors involved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky222 Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 The space allotted for publication title is so small and none of my long-ass titles fit completely in them. How are others dealing with this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
