| 18 hours ago | comment | added | Andreas Blass | @EspeciallyLime MathSciNet may do more than reveal the existence of these papers; it may have reviews indicating what's wrong with them. I once had to explain, in a letter for someone's promotion, that his early, bad papers were under the supervision of an incompetent adviser, but that, once he got out from under that adviser, he had done very good work. | |
| 20 hours ago | comment | added | Chris H | I wonder if it's worth using the section heading to indicate that you've selected the most relevant papers, to avoid surprises if you're looked up in an indexing service. If you're lucky, there will be a page limit to give you an extra excuse to be sleective | |
| 20 hours ago | comment | added | Barmar | Can you explain the disagreement between your answer and this one? They say that a CV should be comprehensive, it's not like a resume. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Especially Lime | @GC25 Probably not, as long as you are prepared to be asked about it. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | GQ25 | @EspeciallyLime Even if so, would that harm me in anyway? | |
| yesterday | comment | added | Especially Lime | @GQ25 It's unlikely that people will specifically go looking for papers not on your CV. But they may well look at your citations on MathSciNet and Google Scholar, so you should consider whether they are likely to notice these papers if they do. | |

| yesterday | comment | added | Buffy | I agree that it is unlikely. | |
| yesterday | comment | added | GQ25 | Thank you. Some senior people have told me that it is unlikely people will try to dig stuff like this up if it's not on my CV. I will omit them. | |
