Entornos educativos de complicidad en el proceso del proyecto Second Round
2019
INTRODUCCIÓN. La relación que se establece entre una alumna y su profesor durante el proceso de realización de una tesis doctoral suele estar muy mediada por las líneas de trabajo propias del grupo de investigación al que pertenecen. Sin embargo, en ocasiones se dan circunstancias un tanto particulares que convierten esta relación en un campo de experiencias vinculadas al propio diálogo, evolución que va encajando con las fases de la propia tesis. La confianza entre ambos partícipes se renueva en cada paso de la complicidad asumida. MÉTODO. Aquí presentamos un estudio de caso que hemos experimentado conjuntamente, ya que el tema de la tesis de la doctoranda (el proyecto “Second Round”) es p…
Otto Neugebauer and the Göttingen Approach to History of the Exact Sciences
2018
Otto Neugebauer (1899–1990) was, for many, an enigmatic personality. Trained as a mathematician in Graz, Munich, and Gottingen, he had not yet completed his doctoral research when in 1924 Harald Bohr, brother of the famous physicist, invited him to Copenhagen to work together on Bohr’s new theory of almost periodic functions. Quite by chance, Bohr asked Neugebauer to write a review of T. Eric Peet’s recently published edition of the Rhind Papyrus (Neugebauer 1925). In the course of doing so, Neugebauer became utterly intrigued by Egyptian methods for calculating fractions as sums of unit fractions (e.g. 3/5 = 1/3 + 1/5 + 1/15). When he returned to Gottingen, he wrote his dissertation on thi…
Motivation to Study for PhD Degree: Case of Latvia
2014
AbstractThis paper studies what goals individuals pursue when enrolling in doctoral studies and how it affects the characteristics of the university they find important for choosing it and information sources on doctoral programme they find useful. It uses data collected in 2014 from PhD students and PhD candidates in 14 universities in Latvia and from students born in Latvia but studying abroad. The main result is substantial heterogeneity of goals by field of study, allowing to divide the latter into three groups. Group 1 contains arts & humanities, economics, and education & psychology. Compared to it, students from Group 2 (biology, agriculture, environment & geoscience; physics, mathem…
Everyday Family Life and Multiple Roles of the Female Doctoral Students
2017
Combining work and family life, and the challenges and solutions connected to it is a topical and globally significant subject. In the article I examine how the under 40-year-old female doctoral students with a family succeed in combining their roles as a mother and a doctoral student in their own everyday lives. A number of large and simultaneous challenges condense in the everyday life of an under 40-year-old female doctoral student with a family. In the examination I concentrate on the everyday challenges of the female doctoral student, on the interface of the family and the doctoral studies and on the choices made in everyday life. The qualitative research material consisted of the them…
Developing doctoral students' / researchers’ understanding of the journal peer-review process
2021
A growing body of knowledge has confirmed that the journal peer-review process is an integral part of the scientific publication process and provides demonstrable benefits to journal editors and authors. This study aims to develop doctoral students’ understanding of the journal peer-review process and highlight the most common errors and pitfalls reviewers identify in novice authors’ manuscripts, which could lead to rejection. A qualitative content analysis research method was used to analyse the primary data as experience collected from senior researchers, editors and associate editors. Among the major contributions of this study is an interactive diagram that provides an overview of the j…
Ubezpieczenia społeczne doktorantów szkół doktorskich
2020
Th e reform of the doctoral student education system, resulting in a departure from conducting third degree studies in favour of doctoral schools, resulted in changes in the fi eld of social security law. Th e status of a doctoral student receiving a doctoral scholarship has become independent grounds for compulsory retirement, disability and accident insurance. At the same time, it is the basis for voluntary sickness insurance. Th e author criticises the granting of doctoral students the right to acquire cover under this type of insurance. Th eir actual situation when receiving a doctoral scholarship is far diff erent from the situation of other persons (grounds) covered by sickness insura…
On the motivations to enroll in doctoral studies in Computer Science — A comparison of PhD program models
2013
While student motivation has been intensively researched, only a few studies cover motivation at doctoral level and even less focus on doctoral education in Computer Science. In this paper we investigate the motivation of graduate students to pursue doctoral studies specifically in Computer Science. We interviewed 63 doctoral students, from two different doctoral models (traditional and structured) in Finland and Austria, on their initial reasons and experiences that led them to enroll in doctoral studies. We identified five disjoint main motivational drivers that relate with different aspects of extrinsic and intrinsic motivation. Together with a measure of the strength of their initial mo…

Estudiantes de ciencias jurídicas y trabajos de investigación: análisis de los derechos de propiedad intelectual sobre el TFG, el TFM y la Tesis Doct…
2019
El objetivo de este artículo es analizar los derechos de propiedad intelectual sobre los trabajos elaborados por quienes cursan estudios universitarios, con particular referencia a los TFG, TFM y tesis doctorales que se realizan en el ámbito de la ciencia jurídica. Para ello, en primer lugar, se examina la posibilidad de que el trabajo de investigación sea merecedor de la condición de obra; en segundo lugar, se clarifica la cuestión relativa a la titularidad de los derechos de autor sobre estos trabajos; y, en tercer lugar, se reflexiona en torno a la obligación de dejar las obras en repositorios institucionales de acceso abierto.
