In our newest "how can we help you?" thread, a reader writes:

In a CV, should you/ how should you list the engagement of other philosophers with your work? (1) is there a clear/tidy way to note the number of citations that your paper has? (2) how to record more substantive engagement – e.g. a philosopher discusses MyView™ for a page or two, of their entire paper is a response to mine. It seems like peer engagement is good/‘impressive’ but not sure how/if to display it in a CV.

Hmm, I don't know. I have come across CVs where people list venues in which their books have been reviewed, as well as a CV or two in which people list some of their PhilPapers stats (e.g., a paper of theirs that is in 'top 1%' of downloads), but I'm not sure how wise the latter is and don't think I've ever come across a CV that notes the number of citations a paper has.

For my part, I just include a link to my Google Scholar page at the top of my CV. This seems to me to be relatively unobtrusive, while giving a reader who might have any interest in that sort of thing (e.g., in tenure/promotion decisions) an easy way to look it up.

What do you all think, and what do you do in your CV?
