For folks applying to PhD programs:
I keep hearing a myth that students need to have a 1st author paper to get into a PhD program. This is definitely not true in psychology--most of the students we admit at NYU and most of the students from my own lab who have gotten into other PhD programs do not have any publications, let alone 1st author publications.
Yes, publications can help but they are not necessary and I suspect that they are actually pretty rare. If you want to build a publication record, I recommend doing an ambitious honors project, working for a lab for many years, or working as a lab manager.
