Do poster acknowledgments count?

Hmm I tried to cancel this post but cannot figure out how, so I guess I'll go ahead and ask my question.

I helped two undergrads with their poster for the undergraduate fair at my university. I showed them how to code qualitative data and gave them all my notes and charts from a report I had done on a different focus group. My exact work isn't on the poster but they used the same notes and charts but just put in their own data.

They acknowledged me at the end of the poster and I was just wondering if I should include this in my CV. It's just an undergraduate fair and it doesn't include my original work so I was curious if it would just look like CV padding.

I did a search on the forums but I was curious if it was different for clinical psychology specifically.

It's nice that you were acknowledged for your efforts, but alas, I do not think this is something to put on a CV. Only instances of authorship are appropriate.

Great! Thanks for the reply. I don't have an extensive list of presentations and publications but I definitely don't want to put something in there that isn't needed.

I actually have a similar question. Last year, I helped a couple of undergraduates put together a poster for a conference. I was listed as one of the authors, but I did not present the poster since it was an undergraduate conference and I was not an undergraduate at the time. How do I put this on my CV? Should I put it under "presentations" even though I actually did not attend the conference? This seems wrong to me but I'm having a hard time thinking of a better place to list it in my CV.

Thanks!

+1. I've been "acknowledged" in several published manuscripts [some of which irritated me because it had been agreed that I was to be a latter author on a few of them and/or some of which I did considerably more work than some of the actual authors (ah, well!)], and none of them are listed on my CV. It's my understanding that they may create some oh, so nice warm & fuzzies inside due to your accomplishment/service, but not to be listed on one's CV unless you're actually listed in the order of authors.

If you are an author on something, you can list on your CV, regardless of whether you actually went to the conference. I usually put undergraduate RA's as authors on my posters and none of them ever come to the conferences.

Agreed, attendance is irrelevant. Typically the first-author is the presenter but it absolutely goes on the CV of other authors.

Along those same lines, I was listed as an author on a powerpoint presentation that was given at a conference, but I was not the one to actually give the talk. How would I (or would I even be able to, given that I didn't present the talk itself) put this on my CV?
Thanks!!

If you are an actual author, then yes, you can list it on your CV (given it was part of a paper presentation/symposium). If you were just acknowledged, then you shouldn't list it.

I'm assuming by "talk" you mean a paper presentation or symposium talk? If so, given that you were listed as an author, it would definitely go on your CV.

Hi Everyone,

I have a somewhat similar question. I'm presenting at a conference in a few weeks and I was wondering about institutional affiliations to include on the poster. The data I'm presenting was part of my Master's thesis at School A. I'm now in a PhD program at School B. Should I include both affiliations? Or just one? And if so, which one? My original thought was to include both but now I'm not so sure. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!!

One way I have seen this done in the past (in papers) is that you list the school you were affiliated at when you ran the study/analysis. Then, you put an asterisk next to your name and it says "Joe Schmoe is now at University of Boo" and provides updated contact information. For a poster, it may matter slightly yes, but if you have room, I'd just do the same thing. I could be totally wrong on this, but I think that's how you do it.
