Are Publications acheivements?

[Lukeylu22]

First off, I know this question should go in the app questions forum but I feel like at this time in the cycle it's all but abandoned


So are they accomplishments? Is being invited to speak at a research conference an accomplishment? and for extracurricular clubs do you need to put down how many hours were put into it or just that you were were a member?



THANK YOU

Yes, yes, and I don't know (it's been too long since I filled out AACOMAS).

 

[IslandStyle808]

Yes, not sure, the amount of hours need to be put (kind of different now that you have to put hours per week).

 

[MADD!!!]

Definitely an accomplishment! Not something most people can do.

 

[Goro]

Yes, very much so.

Yes they certainly are. I know some people who have stumbled into quick/low effort publications, but in general it takes a long time and a lot of work to get one. I have been at it a while and still only just about to maybe get one for a clinical trial.

Thanks for the replies everyone.

Also now that I'm thinking about it, would patents that were taken out on said research also be an accomplishment? I don't have many earned scholarships or awards so I'm just trying to find things I can put in the achievement section when I apply next cycle 😉

Publishing is absolutely an accomplishment. If you've published then you've made a contribution to science and the pursuit of knowledge (I know I sound campy).
