Publication Recommendation for Graduation

To promote publications in prestigious conferences, credits are allotted according to the conference level. Achieving a total of 8 credits is a solid goal for graduation.

The total expected credits can be adjusted based on each student’s circumstances.

Different conferences may have significantly different style preferences; therefore, it is advisable to consult with your advisor for suggestions before submitting your work.

Note that this standard may not meet the current market expectations for securing a faculty position.

Strategy for Graduation

  • Prioritize Level 3 conferences to maximize credits.
  • Continue submitting to Level 2 conferences as they provide stable credit.
  • Avoid excessive publications in Level 1 conferences, as their credit diminishes.
