Can I submit links and screenshots from a publication index (such as HPCInd)?

Yes, you can use screenshots and links from a publication index such as HPCInd to illustrate your publications and citations in an EB-1 petition. The key concern is not the screenshot itself, but rather the ability to independently verify the information.

To make this material useful and reliable, a few practices help:

• Always point to official, publicly accessible sources to ensure accuracy and traceability.
• Accompany each image with complete source details, such as the URL and the date of access.
• Briefly explain why that index is relevant to your profile and field.

This reduces the risk of an isolated screenshot being viewed as fragile or unverifiable, since online content can change over time. Because each case is evaluated individually, it is worth reviewing the latest guidance and organizing your evidence with the support of a specialist before filing.
