Publication Requirements
(Modified in Spring 2025 – current) (Approved by EEd Graduate Affairs Committee February 10, 2025)
Previous Text:
Ph.D. students must submit proof of at least one accepted, first author, peer-reviewed journal article and one peer-reviewed conference proceedings paper related to a research topic, aligned with one of the projects of your current Ph.D. faculty advisor/committee chair although students are welcome to publish in other areas with their advisor’s consent. If self-funded, the student can publish in other venues of interest as long as the publication is peer-reviewed, the student is the first author, and it aligns with their career interest (i.e., IDP). In case of a change in research topic/advisor, conference paper publications can be in previous topics, but the journal article should be connected to one of the projects of your current Ph.D. faculty advisor/committee chair. The venues and authorship ordering for both forms of dissemination must be generated and approved by the student’s supervisory committee chair. For a graduate student to be listed as an author on any disseminated work, they must make a significant, identifiable, original intellectual contribution to the research and not just participate in collecting, cleaning, or analyzing data. The student should also be involved in the research design, interpretation of results, writing, and editing process as well. Other dissemination venues for publication (e.g., articles, conferences, workshops) stemming from a course or a non-funded research topic must be consulted with your faculty advisor first.
Modification:
Ph.D. students must submit one journal article as first author to a peer-reviewed journal, and have one published and presented peer-reviewed conference proceedings paper related to a research topic, aligned with one of the projects of your current Ph.D. faculty advisor/committee chair although students are welcome to publish in other areas with their advisor’s consent.
