Hi everyone! I will study as a master student for the next 2 years and I plan to apply for a Ph.D program in the future. One thing that I'm very concerned about is that I don't have any publications in my field. In fact, I really love participating in research and I have joined in several projects before. Unfortunately, I encountered some lazy or incapable partners who always threw their work on me even after the work had been clearly assigned to everyone. At that time I was too naive and just angrily abandoned those projects and let them fail...After that, the partners even didn't care about the projects! Also My undergraduate advisor never cared about what I had done until I finished my graduate thesis with an A+ grade. So I just benefited and learned little from him. Now I am working for a large part of a multidisciplinary project. when I see my partners' response, I have a feeling that this project may also fail . I'm not sure how much publications would matter on my Ph.D application but I really want to change this poor situation in my later graduate study. I am afraid that only two years won't be long enough for me to get some publications. Could anyone give me some suggestions or share some plans with me? Thanks!! I have a nearly 4.0 GPA and several matched research experience & research skills but I have already lost confidence in later Ph.D application. What kind of work should I focus on during my graduate study? Or how can I quickly join in an efficient or passionate research group to restart?
