That depends entirely on your field. A (not insignificant) number of PhD students who've gone before me at my university got their PhDs without having published

- eshvk 14y agoExactly. I believe the issue is that the culture in C.S. is to focus more on conferences which means a more rapid turnaround time. There are other disciplines where conferences are not as respected as journal publications which are slow as hell. Having said that, personally I tend to believe in the existence of life after a PhD, this means that one should probably publish and also give talks in conferences etc.
