Hi - given the context, I think "key texts" would work well...

Note from asker:
| Hi Edward, "key" is excellent, but I am not so sure about "achievements" in this particular case. What would be your best choice for written texts? |
Peer comment(s):
| agree |
Noni Gilbert Riley
: I like "key". Perhaps "key posts" (if they are jobs) or "key projects" if they are things done while in that post.

You sais it has to do with an author. Therefore, I would use "works."

: I completely agree with the use of "works" in the context of writings (i.e., articles and books), but I'm not so sure about the use of "outstanding" as a header on a CV to describe one's own writing. It would be unusual, at best.

or most significant, key, etc.
I am assuming, as you mention autor and campo that the trabajos refer to articles published and papers at conferences, for example.

: If there are also actual books, maybe 'works' /// Yes, I know what you mean, though it is quite common.

I think I would be inclined to then say "books, articles, and papers" as my gut feeling is not to like works in this context.

Another option might be "noteworthy..." (though I definitely prefer "notable" in this context).

As for "OUTSTANDING works," the use of this adjective on a CV would be unusual, at best. If the list refers only to written works, I would definitely go with "notable" or "noteworthy" (both of which are commonly used in the context of writing).
I hope this helps!

To the extent the "trabajos" are, in fact, published, you might consider "__________ published works" (as such a header would be quite common on a CV, at least in the US).
