Products strategy (how to pick the 10)
Because you only get 10 total products, selection is strategic:
Products can include more than journal papers (for example: software, datasets, patents, technologies, and educational materials). Choose the strongest evidence for your specific claims and make sure each item is citable/accessibly described in SciENcv.
Bucket A (Closely Related): “evidence for your personal statement”
Pick items that directly prove claims you make about:
- Techniques you will use
- Prior results that de-risk the approach
- Domain expertise for the aims
Bucket B (Other Significant): “portfolio for your contributions”
A good default pattern:
- 1 “anchor” product per contribution (up to 5)
