Ensuring the quality of doctoral studies through open scientific research

Abstract

Scientific research is a defining and indispensable component of higher doctoral studies, and the purpose of these studies is materialized in the development and defense of doctoral theses. The organization of the scientific research activity within the Doctoral Schools must have a “living character” through the continuous adaptation of the quality standards to the technical-scientific progress and the natural social transformations that we go through. Moreover, the beginning of the “information revolution” opened new perspectives for publishing and disseminating the results of scientific research. Open scientific research will contribute considerably to the development of the quality of doctoral studies and will determine the impact of doctoral theses in the scientific fields to which they are related.
