Of course a supervisor has to work hard in helping his student to study,to learn and to get good results. I think that is his job. But, in my opinion , it is not a good thing to sign any publication as joint work with his student (at least before his viva !). This does not help to evaluate the work done by the student himself, and it does not help much more in his forthcoming career. A common publication by a supervisor and his student (before getting PhD) is not, in general, beneficial to the student. But the student must be helped to publish as soon as possible (in his own name ). I think so.
