What does "in press" mean on a CV and how should it be appropriately used to showcase upcoming publications or works?

"In press" on a CV means that a publication or work has been accepted for publication by a journal or publisher but has not been officially released yet. It should be used to showcase upcoming publications by listing the title, authors, and the name of the journal or publisher where it will be published. This demonstrates to potential employers or colleagues that you have work in progress that will soon be available for others to read.
