Yeah. That may be true. I think it all depends on the proposal and host.

Do reviewers consider the number of publications or impact factor of publications? Are there any criteria for the evaluation of the number of publications? I have not much but my PI had been MC fellow. Hope for the best.
On the guidelines it says that they can penalise your application if they think the applicant's publication record is low accorind to career.
About impact factor i have no idea

Ok. I trully believe A) lots of research papers (sev. author order).megasphaera wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 3:47 pmFor a fellowship.Amar wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 2:14 pmHi megasphaera. You asked in regards to papers: "what do you think is better in your opinion"? Do you mean "better" for obtaining competative fellowships or to get some specific position? What do you mean?megasphaera wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 1:17 pmI have a question for all of you which is independent from the msca. In general, as I said earlier, there is no consensus on that, and usually PI has mixed opinion.
What do you think is better in your opinion:
A) lots of paper (first author and non)
B) one first author publication (impact factor above 10)
In my experience when I have applied for other fellowships (Embo or febs, which I did not get) and stalking winner's profiles I have seen lots of researcher with only one high If publication (maybe they had also a review or another non first author paper). Not to quantify this, because I think is a malpractice in science, but when I applied I had 3 first author papers (If of 5/6) and 3 non first author papers. This was after one year that I got my PHd.what is your opinion on this one?
My feeling is that most of PI are only impressed by one first author high If paper or a lot of mixed papers.

How do they calculate final percentages? After first attempt I got:
Excellence 3.8
Impact 4.8
Implementation 4.7
Excellence 3.8
Impact 4.8
Implementation 4.7

Yes thanks!
So excellence part killed me last time. If another two remain the same I need at least 4.6 for excellence to pass over 93%.

Comments were really good and some were really useful. Please find them in one of my previous posts, couple of pages ago.megasphaera wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 7:35 pmA bit more in excellence and you would have got it.
What kind of comments you got in excellence, if I may ask?

I read that an excellent proposal, a hot topic scientific project and a recognized host can help to get the fellowship. But... The evaluators are important...Khub_MC wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 4:12 pmYeah. That may be true. I think it all depends on the proposal and host.
