How many articles do you need to get the title of assistant professor
Many scientists who seriously work in this field want to become assistant professors. A scientist must go through several stages and fulfill all the requirements in order to obtain this rather high status in scientific activity.
It is worth noting that the concept of "associate professor" is used in the definition of rank and position. If a person has such a title, it speaks of his high status and weight among scientists. In any case, it implies that the person is engaged in a certain kind of pedagogical activity, and has already achieved the knowledge of a researcher in a certain field of science. Therefore, below we will consider what requirements must be met in order to obtain the title of associate professor.
Requirements for the title of associate professor
The order of the Ministry of Education and Science of Ukraine states that the status of assistant professor can be obtained by employees who work in higher educational institutions, including institutions of postgraduate education, and it also applies to higher spiritual educational institutions, which meet the following requirements:
- Awarded the degree of Doctor of Science or Doctor of Philosophy;
- The researcher studied, interned or worked at universities or other scientific institutions in OECD or EU countries, or carried out projects or managed projects that were funded by these countries. This can be confirmed by a diploma, certificate or certificate. It is also possible to participate in at least one seminar, conference, or symposium that took place in OECD or EU countries;
- Is a teacher of an academic discipline in the national language or in the language of an OECD country, and has a high scientific and methodological knowledge, which has been confirmed by the opinion of the department in which he works.
In addition to the above, another condition for receiving the title of associate professor is to have been in the position of assistant, teacher, senior lecturer, head or deputy head of a department for at least five years. In other words, the last calendar year the scientist must have worked in the same department under an employment contract or under a contract.
The minimum requirement for a future associate professor is the publication of scientific or scholarly-methodological papers and a defended dissertation.
How many and what articles are needed to get the title of associate professor
As mentioned earlier, a future assistant professor needs to publish a certain number of scholarly papers:
- At least one scientific article must be submitted in a peer-reviewed Scopus or WoS journal, which can be domestic or international professional publications.
- It is important to have a certificate (this condition is presented in the pan-European guidelines for language education), which indicates a knowledge of one of the languages of the EU countries at least B2 level. Or demonstrate your knowledge in 10 scientific works, which will be published in one of these languages.
