Research papers on applications

Just recently, I found out that a research paper that I was a second author on became published into a peer-reviewed journal. I updated all of the colleges I applied to with a short email about the publication. I also sent the research abstract as well. Is this enough? I am worried I’m missing something like a citation or even that the update will be overlooked. Also, how good would this look if I just updated this to an already submitted application? Thanks!

Yes, that’s enough, and it looks good. Congrats, @youraveragestudent !

It’ll look great, and most if not all will appreciate the chance to learn more about you as an applicant with your update .
