Opis

Within a context of rapid growth and diversification in higher degree research programs, there is increasing pressure for the results of doctoral research to be made public. Doctoral students are now being encouraged to publish not only after completion of the doctorate, but also during, and even as part of their research program. For many this is a new and challenging feature of their experience of doctoral education. Publishing Pedagogies for the Doctorate and Beyond is a timely and informative collection of practical and theorised examples of innovative pedagogies that encourage doctoral student publishing. The authors give detailed accounts of their own pedagogical practices so that others may build on their experiences, including: a program of doctoral degree by publication; mentoring strategies to support student publishing; innovations within existing programs, including embedded publication pedagogies; co-editing a special issue of a scholarly journal with students; 'publication brokering', and writing groups and writing retreats. With contributions from global leading experts, this vital new book:

• explores broader issues pertaining to journal publication and the impacts on scholarly research and writing practices for students, supervisors and the academic publishing community
• takes up particular pedagogical problems and strategies, including curriculum and supervisory responses arising from the 'push to publish'
• documents explicit experiences and practical strategies that foster writing-for-publication during doctoral candidature.

Publishing Pedagogies for the Doctorate and Beyond explores the challenges and rewards of supporting doctoral publishing and provides new ways to increase research publication outputs in a pedagogically sound way. It will be a valued resource for supervisors and their doctoral students, as well as for program coordinators and managers, academic developers, learning advisors, and others involved in doctoral education.

Doctoral programs across the world are increasingly tying assessments of research quality and productivity to the outcomes of doctoral research. Doctoral students are being encouraged to publish not only after completion of their doctorates, but during, and increasingly as part of, doctoral programs.

Even so, there continues to be a lack of scholarly attention given to the full gamut of issues pertaining to writing within doctoral education. In particular, little systematic pedagogical attention is paid to relationships between doctoral work and publication from the doctorate, and low publication rates in the UK, the US, Australia and elsewhere continue to be a problem requiring serious pedagogical attention. This lack of widespread and systematic publishing creates problems with the quality and effectiveness of doctoral education when preparing students to participate in research cultures.

With contributions from global leading experts, this vital new book

• explores broader issues pertaining to journal publication and the impacts on scholarly research and writing practices for students, supervisors and the academic publishing community.

• takes up particular pedagogical problems and strategies, including curriculum and supervisory responses arising from the ‘push to publish’.

• documents explicit experiences and practical strategies that inform students, their supervisors, program coordinators and managers, academic developers and learning advisors of effective pedagogical practices for the support of writing-for-publication during doctoral candidature.

Publishing Pedagogies for the Doctorate and Beyond is a vital text for both supervisors and their doctoral students. It will guide them through these mounting pressures, and provide ways to increase research publication outputs in a consistent and systematic way.
