Introduction

This volume will examine the diverse ways in which universities and
colleges around the world are developing innovative ways to provide
doctoral education, including new theories and models of doctoral education
and the impact of changes in government and/or accreditation policy on
practices in doctoral education. Specifically, this volume will examine the
emerging trends in student selection practices, research topic selection,
supervision practices, and dissertation review and approval process, across
a range of disciplines across different institutional types across
different countries. This volume also covers those policy and strategy
issues that cut across all disciplines such as social and cross-cultural
considerations, doctoral program accrediting organizations, and research
ethics and quality assurance.

Goals

This volume seeks to understand the current landscape of how universities
are preparing the next generation of researchers, scholars, scientists, and
university faculty. This volume seeks to understand the relevant issues
associated with new models of delivering doctoral education at the theory,
policy, and practice levels. This book will be an edited book that presents
empirically based case studies, other types of research studies, and
scholarly essays that provide examples of how universities are delivering
doctoral education. Recommended topic areas include the following: 1)
Theory and Principles of Doctoral Education, 2) Successful Practices in
Doctoral Education, and 3) Policies and Strategies for Implementing
Doctoral Education.

Example topics might include the following:

 New forms of the doctorate
 Different cultural views on doctoral education
