I'm submitting a conference paper proposal and need to include a short version of my CV. I'll be presenting a couple of papers in the next few months, and I already have them on the most current version of my CV. Should I leave them on since they're already scheduled and will take place pretty soon, or should I take them off since they haven't happened yet? I'm inclined to leave them so that the conference organizers can see what I'm up to, but then again . . . just not sure about the etiquette of this. (And if I leave them on, should I put "forthcoming" even though the dates already appear?)
Thanks for any advice.

Is this a normal thing in your field, to be asked for a CV when submitting a paper to a conference?
As long as you either have the date on those upcoming talks or say something like "forthcoming" or "planned," I don't see a problem there.

I've always thought this it was alright to mark "forthcoming" or clearly have the date marked on upcoming talks. If you look at someone's CV, and they have an event with the date being six months from now, you'd probably safely assume "Oh, that is a scheduled talk happening in six months". I wouldn't think of it as padding or anything like that - it is an accepted paper or talk for crying out loud.

When all else fails, let us agree to disagree.

I agree with octoprof and hypnotoad. Do include the dates (or "forthcoming"), but yes, keep the presentations on the CV. Doing so would be perfectly legitimate.

Yes, I agree with the others. My CV is in APA style (since I am in the social sciences), which clearly lists the year and month of the talk. This way, I don't have to explicitly say it's forthcoming...anyone can tell just from the month and the year.

Absolutely: if you're still at an early stage of your career and have a fairly short CV, then "forthcoming" (accepted) papers and publications are absolutely fine.

Yep, put 'em on as soon as you get the acceptance. It's a good habit to start now, before you get old like me and discover that you forgot to put something on.

You people are not fooling me. I know exactly what occurred in that thread, and I know exactly what you all are doing. |

Your environment sounds vaguely toxic. Or maybe just characteristically British.

This is exactly why I do it! Thanks, all, for the input. |

Jeez, I asked a question like this about three years ago, and it started a flame war. Whatever happened to all those people who insist that nothing should go on a CV except things that have already happened?

They've moved on to the whole jobtalk debate. I personally don't have any upcoming talks on my CV (though I do have 3 talks upcoming). It's mostly because I'm a little superstitious. |
