Hi everyone,

I was wondering what to do about the section of a research fellowship that asks the applicant to attach a list of publications - if I don't have any yet (I'm a PhD student at a UK university who aims to submit at the end of the summer or in the autumn).  Should I not attach anything?  Should I include conference papers?  Working papers?  Some fellow students recommended that I could include publications 'in preparation' - proposed article titles listed with their targeted journals (making it very clear that these are pre-submission).  Is this a common practice, and if so, how is it received?

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

I would not include more that one or two papers in preparation.  These always look like wishful thinking.  You can include conference presentations, but this would usually be in a seperate section, just as it would be on your CV.

Thanks for the advice, sciencephd.
