- chrisseaton 8y agoSo how does it work in your field? Making your own significant contribution is literally the basic standard required for a PhD in most fields.
- earthicus 8y agoWell i think it just depends on how 'significant' you need the phd to be. As an example of what I mean, consider the first issue of this years Annals of mathematics [1] and note that there is not a single grad student on any of the papers, first author or otherwise.
