With a wide range of international contributors, this book surveys how the main doctoral awarding countries across the globe define criteria for the eligibility of supervisors. It compares and contrasts their approaches, comments upon their robustness, and identifies examples of good practice.

The quality of supervision has been shown to be a major factor in determining the learning experiences of doctoral scholars and their chances of success. However, relatively little is known about the ways in which doctoral supervisors are selected for their roles, supported to perform them, and recognised for their efforts. This book looks at these matters in 21 major doctoral awarding countries, collectively responsible for over 90% of global doctoral awards. Each case study constitutes a stand-alone contribution to the literature on doctoral supervision in that country and:

Written by a distinguished international team of authors, The Making of Doctoral Supervisors will be of interest to all those engaged in doctoral education including policy makers, program leaders, supervisors, administrators, and scholars in the field.

Based on the latest research and covering key recent developments in supervisory practice, the third edition of A Handbook for Doctoral Supervisors is designed to support new and established supervisors in reviewing how they may make their supervision practice more effective day to day. This new edition is fully updated and extended to provide guidance on all aspects of the supervisory role, including:

With a self-interrogatory style which enables supervisors to reflect upon and, where appropriate, consider how to enhance their practice, this key handbook is a crucial read for those directly involved in doctoral supervision, those who manage supervisors, as well as policy-makers, administrators, and scholars within the field of doctoral education.

This book provides a framework for analysis and reviews the changing landscape of doctoral education across fourteen global case studies before providing conclusions and recommendations for further research and development.

Traditionally, doctoral education was a matter of the talented few being apprenticed to learn how to research from masters in their discipline. The work was conducted in private in spaces far removed from normal teaching or industry activities. The only requirement for academic staff to supervise or to examine candidates was to be research active. Many candidates dropped out during their studies. For those who persisted, their doctoral research could take years to complete, and most graduates went on to academic careers. But in recent decades, several changes have transformed doctoral education almost beyond recognition. The chapters in this book present an analysis of graduate and doctoral education globally aligned with current developments and research, provide an overall framework for the discussion at the international level of changes in doctoral education, examine how changes have been manifested in a sample of case studies of major doctoral providers from across the globe, and offer conclusions about the changing graduate and doctoral landscape with suggestions for future research.

This volume will be of interest to all those engaged in doctoral education, including doctoral candidates, their supervisors, and deans and administrators of graduate research. It was originally published as a special issue of Innovations in Education and Teaching International.
