Abstract
The purpose of a doctorate is educating new researchers to later produce scientific articles derived from their doctoral thesis. The objective of this study is to verify if obtaining a doctorate degree favors scientific production. Scientific production of researchers is analyzed based on doctoral theses in sport sciences in Spain. The methodology followed used the TESEO database and Web of Science. Results showed a total of 487 theses (97.4 theses/year) and more than 1358 papers published in Web of Science. Almost half of the doctors published the results from their doctoral thesis in Web of Science journals. The production of articles derived from doctoral programs is satisfactory. However, many new doctors do not publish in Web of Science after completing their doctoral thesis. This paper represents the first mapping of scientific production of doctoral programs in Spain. More studies must be conducted in the future in order to monitor and assess them.
