is having several of your articles published on science magazines considered a strong EC?
That depends on the credibility of the science mags. But in a similar vein, how would one go about citing publications on college apps (I’m published in a literary magazine and anthology, so I’m curious)?
I’d guess it depends on the articles, the magazine etc. Likely the work/research done that backs up any published article would be most important.
You could put it in Additional Information on the apps (bullet them, I wouldn’t put the full citation).
