on research outcomes, completion rates, public engagement,
contributions to esteem and bidding for funding, research in
this area has the potential to change institutional policies on
publishing in the doctoral context. However, any future em-

nary research traditions that, as the discussion above outlines,
are well embedded and remain a powerful influence on doctoral
education processes.
