摘要
Publication evidence is often the easiest researcher evidence to list and one of the easiest to overstate.
The preparation file should document authorship, venue, field, role, and any context that explains why the publication record matters.
This page focuses on organizing publication evidence, not predicting whether the criterion is satisfied.

Build a publication evidence file
Start with a normalized publication list. Each item should be easy to verify and easy to connect to a claim. The goal is not to include every metric possible; it is to make the record clear.
| Field | Why it matters | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Citation | Verifiable reference | Full title, authors, journal, year, DOI |
| Applicant role | Connects authorship to contribution | First author, co-first, corresponding, method lead |
| Venue context | Helps explain field relevance | Journal, conference, acceptance context if documented |
| Citation context | May support recognition or impact | Independent citations and citing-paper examples |
Handle citations conservatively
Citation numbers should be filtered and explained. Independent citations are usually more informative than raw totals, and field norms matter. A citation count that is strong in one field may be ordinary in another.
If the citation record is modest, the preparation file can still be useful. It should avoid pretending the citation record is stronger than it is and instead identify other supporting evidence.

常见问题
How many papers are needed for EB-1A?
There is no fixed number of papers that establishes EB-1A eligibility. Publication count is one part of a broader evidence record and must be evaluated in context.
Do preprints count as scholarly articles?
A preprint may be relevant context, but it should be treated carefully. Peer-reviewed publications, accepted manuscripts, and venue documentation are usually clearer evidence. Ask an attorney how to handle specific records.
Should I include every publication?
Your inventory can include all publications, but drafting should focus attention on the records that best support the criteria and overall narrative.
