PUBLISH OR PERISH FOR PHD STUDENTS? Regardless of country or discipline, publications are an expectation—if not a requirement—to obtain a PhD. In this issue, PhD students, academics and

improvements. The discussion is amplified with more contributions on our community forum. See Focus on PhDs under publication pressure See also Behavioural & Social Sciences at Nature
