To follow up on Lewis Powell's CV guide (which I linked to yesterday), a reader in our newest "how can we help you?" thread writes:

I am currently co-editing a special issue of a (well-known) journal. I can't figure out where if anywhere it should "go" on my CV. Any advice really appreciated.

Another reader helpfully responded: 

List it at the very end of your list of publications, under a heading: Journal Editing (Guest editor) I have headings like the following: Books, Journal Articles, Book Chapters, Contributions to Handbooks and Companions Book Reviews, Other Publications Journal Editing (Guest editing).

This seems to me exactly right. But given how many of these issues often come up, I thought it could have an open thread on these issues. Do you have questions on how to organize your CV, and where/how to list different items? Ask away in the comment section below – and then, other readers, feel free to answer!

    I am working in ethics/x-phi and have contributed to a number of psych/econ COVID-19 papers that have a lot of authors (10-50) and I am somewhere in the middle in all of them.
    Should I list those papers amongst my solo/duo authored papers in the main discussion section or make a ‘large-scale scientific collaborations’ section as a colleague has advised?
    Thank you!

    Where should research visits, participation in projects, and organizing reading groups/seminars/conferences go? In my early days of being a fledgling PhD student I just had a section for “academic collaboration” but that doesn’t work anymore.
