How to group multiple publications together on AMCAS?

Hi all,

To those of you who have multiple publications, how are you listing them? Separately or together under the heading "publications?" I want to list mine all under one entry but am unsure of how to group them since you can only enter 1 publication date per entry…any advice would be appreciated! Thanks!

Something like #1: Date: Project name. Name, contact info. brief description.
#2: Date: Project name. Name, contact info. brief description.

rearrange the order to whatever looks better aesthetically. Btw congrats on multiple publications, I tried my entire undergrad to get 1 and it didn't happen.

Being an older non-trad applicant, I had too many experiences to cram in 15 entries.
I chose to list all my publications and presentations in ONE entry under Research/Lab.
The trick here is that I chose this as one of the most meaningful experiences, so that I have some extra space to elaborate on my publications and presentations.

I am not saying what I did was the best way for anyone to do. I felt I just had to do it this way to save room to list more of the other side of my life experience.

I used one activity entry titled "Publications and Presentations" and simply listed the citations there. Another appropriate way to include this info is to list it at the end of an activity in which you discuss your research experience in more detail (e.g., as @novrain) is suggesting above. You especially might want to consider this if you feel like you need the additional activity slot and don't want to "waste" it to simply list publications.

Whatever you do, just make sure that it makes sense and is understandable. It really doesn't make that much of a difference.

Agreed. There's is no need to list Organization and Contact info for the 2nd and 3rd citations as that is evident from the citation itself and the affiliated research listings. If you need to abbreviate the citation to fit all three in, that's fine (just including first author and your place on the list of contributors, for example). You could even include the PubMed ID# to make them easier to find.

I wish I thought of that idea, but unfortunately I needed all of my "most meaningful" to actually expand on my shadowing, non-medical volunteering, and medical volunteering.

I had three sections for publications presentations.

Publications had my journal articles and references to all my book chapters, and the two sections for presentations were both almost completely filled up.
