Yes, that space is very limited. I do believe that they allow you an extra page for anything else you wish to submit.

You can add an extra page. The limitation on the page is annoying, I agree.

I have been told very specifically that you cannot add an additional page. Nor do the instructions provide for such. I am considering saying "I have x number of papers presented at professional conferences. Here is a recent example relevant to my proposed program of study"... something like that.

Fair enough, I'm only familiar with the doctoral application which allows an appended page. Good luck in your dealings with the wonderful bureaucracy of SSHRC...

If I remember correctly, provided it hasn't changed, you can indeed add an additional page for research contributions.

Double check your instructions. Then check them again. Then call SSHRC and complain. Also, double check the formatting. Set it up *EXACTLY* as they specify, which you can easily do in Word.

The key difference between the doctoral and master's application is the length of the Statement of Interest vs. the Program of Study (those might not be the exact names, it's been a while).

If it really is 400 characters, you're screwed.

Aim for a bibliographic citation, preferably APA. Basically, you want a list, and you're supposed to star the peer reviewed ones, and add a statement for any collaborative work - don't be wishy-washy, say something firm like "All contributions were equal." or "My contribution was determined to be 25%."

I ran out of room with my NSERC application. I made a header for my listings like the following below:

Other refereed contributions (3 of 6 listed below; 3 as presenting author)

or whatever. Then I made sure that the ones that were actually listed out were the most important ones.

that's too bad. But what you could do is try to cite yourself in your program of study. This would at least give the reviewers some idea that you've been active in your area of research. I'm not sure about the MA, but for the PhD applications the bibliography section was unlimited this year, so there might be space for you to include your work there.
