[2007] Statuut voor promovendi en promotores; Leidraad voor gesprek tussen promotor/dagelijks begeleider en promovendusTilburg Law School Abstract Het als bijlage bij dit formulier toegevoegde statuut beoogt enerzijds invulling te geven aan de inhoud van ‘goede begeleiding’ en anderzijds aan te geven hoe die goede begeleiding kan worden gerealiseerd. Vanzelfsprekend is er niet één wijze van goede begeleiding. Op grond van ervaringen vanuit het verleden kan echter wel worden aangegeven wat succesfactoren zijn. Die succesfactoren komen tot uitdrukking in dit document. Daarnaast wordt een lijst aangeboden met diverse aandachtspunten voor een gesprek tussen promotor/dagelijks begeleider en de promovendus.

[2007] Educational and Supervision Planning Forms ASSR. Abstract:
This practice illustrates the potential of the Educational and Supervision Planning Form. PhD student and supervisor have to fill in the forms in the first three years of the PhD program. Every form fits into the specific phase of the trajectory. By way of the form, the school management also collects information for the PhD Database. The forms illustrate the evaluation practices in three consecutive years.

4. Time to degree and completion rates
[2007] Analysis of graduation delay, Wageningen Institute of Animal Sciences (WIAS) Abstract Although WIAS PhD students graduate faster than the national average, the KNAW advised us, at our re-accreditation in 2000, to reduce graduation delay. First we made an analysis of the causes of graduation delay, and this yielded suggestions for several measures. Median time to graduation has dropped from 5.2 (cohort 1994) to 4.7 years (cohorts after 1997).

5. Dissertation quality
[2007] Sonneveld, H. The Quality of ASSR dissertations. An analysis of opinions on the qualities of theses defended by PhD recipients of the Amsterdam School for Social science Research. Abstract. In 2002, the Amsterdam School by way of its executive director has started to collect evaluative data on the quality of the 100 dissertations that have been defended by ASSR PhD students. The author was able to lay hands on just a few documents. To compensate for the absence of elaborated evaluations, the author has asked the supervisors with a considerable number of PhD recipients to describe the strong and weak qualities of the theses that have been defended under their responsibility. The comments that are presented in the report cover 41 dissertations. PDF-bestand
6. Labour market for PhD recipients
[2007] WIAS Workshop Career Coaching Abstract. PhD students and their supervisors are focused on the PhD thesis and not on the student’s career after graduation. We offer our PhD students courses and assessments to prepare for that later career, but the coaching role of supervisors in career orientation was still a blind spot. Therefore, we organised a workshop ‘Career Coaching’ for PhD students and their supervisors.
