Quote From Mackem_Beefy:
Journal Publications and Conference presentations are expected if you're a PhD Candidate anyway.
Not sure how true that is in humanities. Maybe it's different in science, but I'd be careful about generalising too much.
Basically I was quite unusual in having 2 journal publications during my humanities PhD. I had co-authored papers during my (had to abandon, as illness developed) full-time science PhD. But humanities was a quite different kettle of fish.
