My guess is that this means you should submit offprints of your representative publications. That is, they want to see actual pubs that are already in journals and that you cn submit a pdf of for them to review.

I have been seeing this term as well. Is that what it means, that they want a PDF of any journal publications I have? I can't seem to find this information anywhere else. I guess I'm going to have to go with this assumption unless someone else here knows otherwise.

Representative reprints refers to a pdf copy of something you have already published, but they don't want everything they just want the ones that best represents your capacity for contributing to scholarly conversations. So, don't send in the pdf from a grad student journal nobody has heard of, or your alumni magazine. Obviously send in the best articles in the best journals that you've placed your work in.

Pretty much what kjlkj said. They request "reprints" because back in the day (before articles were more easily available online) you would have to order copies of your articles to be sent out from the publisher (essentially a "re"printing of your article). But now that most journals have online access and most authors can easily get a digital/PDF copy of the article, most authors don't actually have to order reprints. But the term is still used, for whatever reason.

Ah, I understand. They want copies of the work that best represents you. I agree with you, it seems very outdated but at least now it makes sense. I feel a little thick now. I swear all of these applications have scrambled my brain. Thank you, kjlkj and yup.
