I now have three different university gigs and I'm just wondering how you all decide which one to list when you present papers and publish research.  Do you rotate them?  Choose the most prestigious?  Choose the one where research is ostensible valued?  Thanks --

When I was in this situation (affiliated with two institutions, though, not three) and presented research results at conferences, I'd use the institution whose  IRB committee approved the research.  That institution should get the "credit," so to speak, for supporting the research. 

Am I right in thinking from your question that the work wasn't carried out in association with any of the institutions you're currently working at and that you're no longer affiliated with the institution where the work was done?

Choose the one which will benefit you most, whether wrt prestige, or perhaps if one of these places is where you expect to apply for a permanent position.

I'm a social science type, so no one at any university has provided me with any resources (beyond access to interlibrary loan).  I'm still ostensibly affiliated with university number 1, where I was while I did the research.  But the truly petty part of me doesn't want to give them any credit since it's the place where I feel most exploited.  I like the idea of choosing the one that offers the most promotion potential.

Why not both?  I have 2 different institutional affiliations and use both of them, denoted by footnotes.

Have you considered combining the institutions into an attention-getting, creative affiliation?

I'm thinking of something like UNC Tampa, University of Michiana, or Central Harvard State...  I bet if you shared your affiliations with us we could come up with something great.

I tend to choose the one I feel more attached to or secure with, as I usually have one of those.  Especially for pubs, as I don't want to go through proofs with one affliation listed only to have that not be the right uni when the thing comes out in print.

Otherwise, I choose the one that has money to reimburse conference expenses, as all the schools I have been with want evidence of presentation to give funds.  I couldn't bring myself to highlight my little name and another school's name when this institution is footing the bill.
