How to List Publications on Your LinkedIn Profile by ATVM Team

Showcase your expertise by listing publications on your LinkedIn profile. Learn step-by-step how to boost credibility and attract recruiters.

Why You Should Add Publications

If you’ve written technical papers, blog posts, final-year projects, or industry articles—
you should list them.

Why?

Because recruiters check LinkedIn before calling you.
And your publications prove:

You know your subject
You can explain ideas clearly
You’ve gone beyond just classes or job roles

If you leave this blank, they assume you haven’t done any.

How To Add Publications To Your LinkedIn Profile On Desktop

Step 1: Open Your LinkedIn Profile

Click “Add profile section”
Go to “Additional”
Choose “Add Publications”

Step 2: Enter Details

Fill these fields carefully:

Title: Name of the article or project
Publisher: Journal, college, or platform
Date: Month and year of publishing or submission
URL: Add link (Google Drive, website, blog, journal, etc.)
Description: Write a short summary

👉 Don't skip the description.
Tell what the work was, your role, and the result.

Example:
Published paper on Load Flow Analysis using ETAP. Presented at State-Level Electrical Conference. Focused on improving rural feeder performance.

Step 3: Click Save

Once saved, your publication is now visible to employers.

Don't Skip The Description!

This part grabs attention.

It tells:

What your publication is about
What you contributed
What problem it solves

Even if your project is small, your clarity can impress.

Use 2-3 lines. Keep it simple and useful.

Prioritize Relevant Publications That Showcase Expertise

Don’t list everything.

Pick the ones that match your career direction:

Final-year projects
SCADA system reports
Industrial training papers
Design guides
Electrical safety audits
Technical blogs on power systems or design tools

Each one must prove your interest and knowledge in core electrical roles.

Use Industry-Specific Keywords For Better Visibility

Think of what recruiters search:

“Power system protection”
“Relay coordination”
“ETAP modeling”
“Substation automation”
“Earthing calculation”
“AutoCAD Electrical design”

Use these words naturally in your:

Title
Description
URL (if possible)

But don’t repeat them just for the sake of it.

Regularly Update Your Publications Section

Each time you finish a:

Mini project
Industrial training
Paper presentation
Blog post
Conference talk

Add it.

Even if it’s a short summary with a PDF or video link—it shows your progress.

Maximize Your Reach

Add links: Journal link, blog URL, Google Drive, GitHub
Tag co-authors: If you did it as a team
Ask your co-authors to add the same publication on their LinkedIn
Cross-tag each other—it increases visibility for everyone.

Example Format You Can Use

Title: Load Flow Optimization Using ETAP
Publisher: Tamil Nadu State Technical Symposium
Date: Jan 2024
Description:
Analyzed 11kV feeder performance using ETAP simulation. Improved voltage profile by 14%. Presented solution to reduce technical losses.
URL: [Add your Google Drive or blog link]
