Translate the research into the problem, your ownership, the analytical complexity, and the outcome. Recruiters do not need the full academic citation to understand that you led difficult work.
Focus on transferable evidence: designed an approach, analyzed a large dataset, coordinated collaborators, secured funding, influenced a decision, or delivered a measurable result. Keep technical terms only when they are necessary to understand the achievement.
Instead of leading with a paper title, a bullet might say you built a predictive model using 2 million observations, improving forecast accuracy by a measurable amount and supporting a multi-institution research decision.
You can list publications separately if they are prestigious, but the experience bullets should still read like impact. The consulting resume guide is useful for converting academic work into concise achievement bullets.
