Regarding the meaning of scholarly works in a job application I found What are typical examples of scholarly works?

But I have been confused about the format of this document. Is it just listing my peer-reviewed paper and presentation? I have been asked to provide up to ten scholarly works and an overview of them and also "a complete list of publications." I do not know what I shall write exactly.

    It would be helpful if you provided additional information about what, exactly, you're trying to do. From the tags in your post, it seems like you're applying for a faculty position in mathematics. Is that correct? If you're applying at the university/college level, "scholarly works" is likely going to refer to your published articles, book chapters, and other peer-reviewed documents. – Yasha Dec 07 '20 at 18:39

Yes, a simple list of citations of your scholarly works. In most fields, that's journal articles and books, in others it would also include conference papers. If you have a small list of papers, you could also include poster presentations.

Even if your field typically uses really brief citations, I would suggest something like APA with complete author names.

If possible, people often bold their names in the list of authors, or star their first/shared-first-author papers.

  • But they also ask for complete list of publications. What is the difference between them? – user40491 Dec 07 '20 at 18:40

    @user40491 I think it's fairly clear - they want 10 of your "best" or most representative works, and then a list of all of them. The former is a subset of the latter. – Azor Ahai -him- Dec 07 '20 at 18:44
  • Can I put submitted papers in the scholarly works? (For example submitted book chapters and papers) – user40491 Dec 07 '20 at 19:20
  • @user40491 That's probably field-dependent. Because book chapters are usually requested, that seems fine, but papers I would not include until they are "in revision" or "in publication," since "in submission" is meaningless. I would check with a trusted advisor. – Azor Ahai -him- Dec 07 '20 at 19:23
  • In math, you're expected to include submitted papers. They won't count for much, unless your recommenders praise them highly, but they do indicate continued research activity. – Fedya Dec 08 '20 at 03:13
