1One other piece of advice I was given was to list them as "Work in Other Areas" as they at least perfunctorily are in a different area than the rest of my papers. Both of the papers are on arxiv, so even removing my name from the published version might raise questions why my name is on the arxiv version.– GQ25Commented yesterday

2Even if people do not make assumptions about omission of papers, the fact that they were omitted may actually serve to draw more attention to them, simply because someone is trying to work out if they are actually yours or not.– avidCommented yesterday

1Footnotes and such explanations draw attention to topics you do not want to have attention on. Explanations and excuses are difficult to tell apart. I would not do so.– usr1234567Commented yesterday

4If you have published enough papers in total, you can list a subset of them in the CV and call the list a list of your most important/ impactful/ etc papers. In such situation no one will look for the missing papers or think ill of you if they happen to find a paper not listed on your CV. But this approach requires a lot of papers and at the stage where people look for permanent positions most people don't have that many.– quaragueCommented yesterday

@quarague what do you mean "no one will look for the missing papers"? I can tell you that whenever I sit on a hiring committee and examine reasonable applicants, I spend more time looking at the list of their paper on MathSciNet than at the list of publications they provided.– Vladimir DotsenkoCommented 2 hours ago

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Use tags that describe what your question is about, not what it merely relates to. For example almost every question on this site is eventually related to research, but only questions about performing research should be tagged research.
Use tags describing circumstances only if those circumstances are essential to your question. For example, if you have a question about citations that came up during writing a thesis but might as well have arisen during writing a paper, do not tag it with thesis.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. graduate-admissions), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
