La siguiente investigación tiene el propósito de analizar la importancia de los aportes conceptuales que enseña la epistemología para la producción del saber científico, al permitir unificar ...criterios, métodos y enfoques. Es un estudio bibliográfico, diacrónico desde el enfoque racionalista. Concluye que la amplitud de nociones consideradas por la disciplina filosófica sirve para organizar, presentar, difundir habilidades que suscitan la construcción de cuerpos conceptuales útiles al promover el bienestar de las comunidades. Consecuentemente, la tesis doctoral se considera un instrumento que consiente el discernimiento al estandarizar los procesos que validan las premisas. A su vez, admite la difusión de afirmaciones en favor de articular sociedades del conocimiento. Palabras clave: Epistemología; Saber Científico; Tesis Doctoral. The following investigation has the purpose of analyzing the importance of the conceptual contributions that epistemology teaches for the production of scientific knowledge, by allowing unifying criteria, methods and approaches. It is a bibliographic study, diachronic from the rationalist approach. It concludes that the breadth of notions considered by the philosophical discipline serves to organize, present, disseminate skills that give rise to the construction of conceptual bodies useful in promoting the well-being of communities. Consequently, the doctoral thesis is considered an instrument that allows discernment by standardizing the processes that validate the premises. At the same time, it admits the diffusion of affirmations in favor of articulating knowledge societies. Keywords: Epistemology; Scientific Knowledge; Doctoral Thesis.
Se presenta un estudio descriptivo longitudinal retrospectivo de las tesis doctorales sobre adicciones presentadas en España hasta el año 2018, un análisis de las redes sociales establecidas entre ...los tribunales de evaluación de las mismas, así como un estudio cuantitativo de las citas o autocitas obtenidas en Google Scholar. Objetivo. Conocer la producción científica española en torno a las adicciones presente en Teseo, la configuración de sus tribunales y su alcance. Método. Análisis bibliométrico, de redes sociales y un análisis cuantitativo de citas. Resultados. Se identificaron 113 tesis defendidas desde 1975 pero principalmente en el quinquenio 2011-2015 (19) y desarrolladas por mujeres (59,3%). Desde 1996 la producción femenina supera a la masculina y desde 2006 casi la duplica. “Adicción”, “adicciones” y “cocaína” son los términos más frecuentes. Universidad Complutense de Madrid (UCM) y Universitat de València (UV) son las universidades más productivas mientras que Maldonado López, Rodríguez de Fonseca y Secades Villa los principales directores. Los tribunales están presididos principalmente por hombres (82,3%) y su actuación como secretarios desciende (56,6%). Conclusiones. Existe una paulatina producción de tesis doctorales en España sobre adicciones. Atendiendo al sexo, hay diferencias entre producir tesis doctorales, dirigirlas y presidir los tribunales de evaluación.
The pursuit of a doctoral degree is a challenging process that can have a negative impact on the wellbeing of PhD students. Therefore, the aim here is to offer a systematic review of the current ...state of the literature on wellbeing among PhD students and the variables it involves in order to build an integrative model that will enrich future research. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) methodology for systematic reviews has been used to lay out the process in a flow diagram. We systematically review studies up to 2021 (N = 38) published on the Web of Science and SCOPUS databases. The results show the current state of the literature on wellbeing in PhD students, the characteristics of the studies (location, study design, and sample), how the literature defines the concept, the variables involved, the study limitations, and future perspectives to improve the quality of life of doctoral students. Finally, a comprehensive approach to the topic is presented in an integrative model that encompasses all variables identified in the literature and offers a guide for future research.

Encouraging doctoral students to publish during their candidature is becoming more widely accepted and practised, both in Australia and internationally, although it is still less common in some ...fields. Almost all universities in Australia now offer candidates an option to include publications in their doctoral thesis. This paradigm shift has occurred over several decades as the role of doctoral education has been debated, but guidelines for students, supervisors and examiners have yet to catch up. While various benefits, challenges and criticisms have been discussed by established academics, the voices of the candidates themselves are limited. Using a narrative inquiry approach, this study helps to fill that void by reporting the personal experiences of the author, who recently completed a thesis with publications (TWP) in education. As such, this paper not only illuminates the potential challenges for doctoral candidates but it also offers possible ways in which universities, supervisors, examiners and candidates themselves can make the path to completing a doctoral TWP easier to navigate.
Writing a doctoral thesis is a testament to years of anxiety, excitement, confusion, terror and passion. A thesis is, however, much more than just an output of learning. It is a formative process ...through which a doctoral student learns what it means to be a researcher. The doctoral thesis as a form of academic writing has, however, received scant attention in organisational studies. My decision to write my thesis differently inspired me to think deeply about the conventions and procedures of doctoral writing. How is it that doctoral students write? What conventions govern them? And how could doctoral writing be done differently to expand the boundaries of thought in management? In this article, I give an autoethnographic account of how I wrote my thesis differently to provide the groundwork for doctoral students to reconsider the conventional approach to doctoral writing. Ultimately, I offer guidance and points of reflection for how doctoral students and their supervisors might break with writing conventions and contribute to their learning as emerging management researchers through writing the doctoral thesis differently.
