Doctoral theses in Sweden, which require publications, offer candidates higher authorship profiles compared to the UK. Both systems yield comparable thesis quality, suggesting a publication-based doctorate could enhance efficiency and international comparability.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Bibliometrics
  • Academic Publishing

Background:

  • Doctoral thesis systems vary globally, impacting candidate profiles and research output.
  • Sweden utilizes a publication-dependent system, while the UK does not mandate publications for theses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the quality and candidate impact of doctoral theses in Sweden (publication-based) versus the UK (non-publication-based).
  • To assess the feasibility and benefits of a publication-based doctoral system.

Main Methods:

  • Comparative analysis of doctoral theses from Swedish and UK medical schools.
  • Evaluation of thesis quality based on journal rankings, citation counts, and authorship positions.
  • Statistical analysis to determine significant differences (P < 0.03).

Main Results:

  • Publication-based theses significantly improved candidate authorship profiles.
  • Thesis quality, measured by journal metrics and citations, was comparable between Swedish and UK publication-containing theses.
  • UK theses benefited from higher-impact UK-based journals compared to continental European ones.

Conclusions:

  • A publication-based doctoral system can enhance candidate visibility without compromising thesis quality.
  • The UK system produces a notable percentage of publication-inclusive theses organically.
  • Introducing a trial publication-based doctorate system is recommended for efficiency and international alignment.
