Publishing Pedagogies for the Doctorate and Beyond Within a context of rapid growth and diversification in higher degree research pro- grammes, 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 programme. 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 collec- tion of practical and theorized 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 programme of doctoral degree by publication; mentoring strategies to support student publishing; innovations within existing programmes, 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 supervi- sors and their doctoral students, as well as for programme coordinators and managers, academic developers, learning advisors and others involved in doctoral education.
