4 first author pubs? Maybe this is field dependent but that sounds like a pretty extreme requirement. The most I've seen formally required in my field is 1 first author peer reviewed pub, but many programs don't even set that as an official requirement anymore.
- markus92 2y agoFour first author publications, yes. University guidelines say three, but in practice they'd like to see four or five to get it approved.
- ash-ali 2y agoEE & CS aim for that many. I've heard maths grads aim for 1.
- caddemon 2y agoMakes sense, it'd still be kinda harsh as a strict graduation requirement for EECS though wouldn't it? In biology I've seen a lot of more recent theses where a couple of the chapters are from middle author works with a bit of extra context on what the student did, and only 1 first author chapter. But besides being slower to do generally, bio still has a lot of people that don't believe in shared first authorship. Sometimes what is technically a second author chapter was pretty close to 50/50 in what the student actually contributed.
- hun3 2y agoYeah, it wildly depends on the maturity of the field it seems
