Hi all, I don't know if this will concern everyone but here's my question -- How many papers (on average) do you guys expect to publish by the time you earn your PhD? I mean considering that we'll be busy taking classes, working as TA/RA, preparing for the qualifying exams and then working on the dissertation, when does one find time to publish papers.
I understand that people generally try to get two papers published out of their dissertation work. So is two the norm, or is it more than that.
Of course, more is always best. But what is expected?
