Question: I am currently updating my resume to reflect new responsibilities assumed in my current position. I am thinking of creating a new section on resume to include publications, professional journal articles, and Linked articles I have written in my profession of cybersecurity. **Several have been well received by my professional network**, and I am working with editorial board of a professional organization to see if they are able to accept a publication for inclusion in their official magazine for members.

**For someone in an senior role, how worthwhile would these publications be considered?** Would future hiring managers see these as evidence of passion commitment, and well - honed communication ability?

Answer: 
It definitely won't hurt you (almost always) to put them in provided the opinion of the community/industry hasn't turned against you. If you have a large array of publications, consider selecting your top three and presenting them under "Selected Publications". Just like any kind of public available information, be aware that there is a wide gamut of opinions on a lot of topics, so anything more controversial will have a lower chance to aid you.
**Yes, your publications are great to include on your resume if you're eager to share them and believe they demonstrate your capabilities.**

Beyond your technical knowledge, your publications demonstrate:

* **Your ability to effectively document what you know** - you're able to write down your own knowledge in a way that is easy for others to understand and make use of
* **Your willingness to share knowledge** - you've made efforts to share what you know and you'll likely take time to share your knowledge with future colleagues
* **Your personal interest in your professional work** - you're not the kind of person who's in it just for a paycheck, you actually enjoy what you're doing
* **You're open to criticism and broad review of your work** - You posted your compositions for large audiences, including topical experts, to review and criticize
* **You can "get the job done"** - you took the articles to completion, having a real publication is a rare accomplishment
