Education Should Consider Alternative Formats for the Dissertation
Nell K. Duke; Sarah W. Beck
The authors explain that traditional dissertations suffer from two shortcomings. First, they have an extremely limited readership. Often, the members of the jury are the only readers of the dissertation. Then, the heavy tome gathers dust in the library archive.
Second, writting the dissertation is a one-time tremendous effort that does not train the researcher for her future proffessional writting activities, which include soliciting funds in project proposals and disseminating the results in the form of articles in scholary forums.
The authors advocate for a dissertation in the form of articles ready to be sent for publications. The articles should stem from a single research project, but they may include different methodologies and present different conclusions.
I completely agree with the rationale of the paper.
