This book presents the doctoral dissertation process as not just a
way of getting a qualification or even a method of learning how to
do research better, but as a substantial and significant piece of
research in its own right. The book will inspire current and
prospective PhD scholars to take up ambitious and large-scale study
projects, dedicating this most important time to a worthy piece of
research. This edited collection provides real and outstanding
examples of multiple research design methodologies which will allow
doctoral researchers to develop a wide set of research skills,
leading to the development of a high-quality academic thesis from
which peer reviewed research papers and books can emerge. Each main
chapter presents the summary of a doctoral thesis, followed by
focused aspects from the projects where the contributors highlight
the development of a research design, the process involved in
executing the design, and present selected findings with their
implications. Each chapter concludes with the researchers'
experiences of learning through this journey and the implications
of the process for the development of the discipline and their own
career. Ideal reading for doctoral students and supervisors, this
book is a source of encouragement and motivation for new
researchers seeking to challenge general perceptions in the social
sciences that PhD or other doctoral research projects must be
small-scale rather trivial studies, but can instead produce robust
findings that have real-world implications.
