PhD :
1. To graduate from a 4-5 yr PhD, approximately 2-3 first author full papers, along with about 2-3 first author communications (total of five)… along with an additional ~ 2 co-authored papers is expected by the time you graduate. This is a guideline, obviously, and based on the criteria from other good universities. If all three full papers are in a Nature XX journal or some equivalent, the other criteria are relaxed.
