Academic Publishing

Like it or not, peer-reviewed publishing is a core part of the academic experience. It is the process by which your scientific ideas, experiments, and results are scrutinized by peers in the field. As a member of MItHRIL, there are certain expectations for students in terms of publishing.

Minimum publishing volume:

  • MASc students are expected to publish one conference paper and one journal paper over the course of their degree program (one publication a year).
  • PhD students/candidates are expected to publish three conference papers and one journal paper over the course of their degree program (one publication a year).

Your supervisor(s) must be listed as anchoring co-authors on any publications that are based on work:

  • conducted and funded under their supervision;
  • that uses MItHRIL or Ingenuity Lab resources, equipment, and facilities; and
  • that is part of the stream of study required to complete your thesis.

If you have any confusion or questions regarding publishing expectations, please contact your supervisor(s).
