It depends on the school. Some schools require you to publish 1 or 2 articles in core journals before graduation, and some tutors also require you to publish articles, so it's not about 1 or 2 articles. Some schools don't require publishing articles, such as Fujian Agriculture and Forestry, but tutors don't necessarily require it.

1. First of all, it must be clearly told to in-service graduate students that in-service graduate students cannot apply for a master's degree without publishing academic papers. Because the state expressly stipulates that "when applying, there must be published or publicly published academic papers, monographs or other achievements related to the degree application", which shows that the applicant has certain scientific research ability. On-the-job postgraduate entrance examination conditions need to be divided into two situations. First, there is no need to apply for a master's degree; Second, you need to apply for a master's degree. 2. Working friends who don't need to apply for a master's degree can apply for postgraduate courses as long as they have a college degree or above, and they can get a certificate of completion issued by colleges and universities after graduation; On-the-job employees who need to apply for a master's degree need to obtain a bachelor's degree for three years, pass college and national examinations, publish academic papers in journals, write graduation papers and defend their papers in order to obtain a master's degree certificate.
