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
