Publications Nomenclature
"Publications." This refers to books, chapters, articles, reviews, monographs,
editorials, works of fiction or poetry, and software which has already appeared and is
available in final form through publicly accessible sources.
"In press." This refers to works of the aforementioned kinds which are completed
and in production, but not yet published.
"Forthcoming." Works listed as forthcoming must have been accepted in writing
by the editor or publisher in question. Copies of the draft that was the basis for
acceptance should be available to review committees, on the understanding that further
revisions may occur prior to publication.
"Submitted." A work is submitted when a complete draft is under consideration
by a editor or publisher, but a decision to publish it has not yet been confirmed.
Submitted works which have been accepted for publication on condition that specified
revisions be made is not reclassified as forthcoming until acceptance of the revisions has
been confirmed. It is, however, appropriate to note that such work is conditionally
accepted, subject to revisions.
"In progress." Works listed as in progress may be at any stage from early
development to a completed manuscript not yet submitted. Such works carry little
weight, unless drafts are available for review.
"Under contract." When a book is listed as under contract, it is important to
indicate explicitly the state of development of the manuscript. It is well known to the
Committee that books can be under contract without having been written, and completed
manuscripts under contract may not be accepted for publication.
"Other." It is appropriate to list other written products, such as reports or letters to
the editor, in a miscellaneous category, titled "Other."
