How many publications are<br />

needed for a PhD?<br />

• This depends on University, field &supervisor<br />

• Example, at Faculty of Computing&Electrical Engineering at<br />

TUT: at least 1 journal and at least 4-5 conference<br />

publications (average in our department: 2 journals+ 5<br />

international conferences)<br />

• Personal experiences:<br />

• My thesis: 2 published journals, 1 journal in ‘accepted’<br />

state and 6 conference papers<br />

• My first (and only, so far) graduated PhD student: 2<br />

published journals + 7 conference papers<br />

• Suggestion: submit journal publications as soon as possible;<br />

(they take long to be accepted); better to submit first your<br />

novel ideas to a journal, then additional results to<br />

conferences
