| Jul 19, 2018 at 17:34 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @DanRomik This requirement was introduced just a few years ago and it's actually causing a lot of headaches to us advisers, especially because of the short duration of the PhD (3 years standard, 4 years maximum), which means that if the student doesn't publish within 3 years they will have to do one more year without scholarship and if they don't publish within 4 years, they're out. | |
| Jul 19, 2018 at 17:08 | comment | added | Dan Romik | @Scientist and Massimo interesting. My experience is mainly with mathematics in North America. Yes, I guess it’s clear that what I said isn’t universally true. | |
| Jul 19, 2018 at 17:02 | comment | added | Massimo Ortolano | @DanRomik Uh, well, my university requires PhD students to publish at least one journal paper to graduate (no need to be first author, though). | |
| Jul 19, 2018 at 16:55 | comment | added | Scientist | @DanRomik That depends on country/institution. In all universities I have visited in China, a PhD student cannot graduate without at least one published SCI paper as first author (usually also including advisor as correspondent author). It is common that these students will stay at the university on their own pockets until the paper gets officially accepted so that they receive their degree. | |

| Jul 19, 2018 at 16:26 | comment | added | Scientist | Like @FBolst said, and adding the fact that for the most of life a PhD degree is really totally useless. Focus on what's in it for you. | |
| Jul 19, 2018 at 16:21 | comment | added | FBolst | Also note that a PhD diploma is just a piece of paper. It is useless if you have nothing to show for it. | |
