The quality of supervision plays a crucial role in shaping the learning experiences and success of doctoral scholars worldwide. However, there is limited understanding of the processes involved in selecting, supporting, and recognizing doctoral supervisors. This book aims to address this gap by examining the practices and policies in 21 major doctoral awarding countries, which collectively account for over 90% of global doctoral awards.

Each case study in this book provides a comprehensive overview of the national context of doctoral education, outlines the policies and procedures for selecting supervisors, discusses the support and development opportunities available to supervisors, and showcases examples of best practices. The authors, drawn from a diverse international team, bring valuable insights and expertise to the field.

The Making of Doctoral Supervisors is a valuable resource for a wide range of stakeholders involved in doctoral education, including policy makers, program leaders, supervisors, administrators, and scholars. It offers valuable insights into the practices and challenges of doctoral supervision across different countries, and provides practical recommendations for improving the quality and effectiveness of supervision.

In conclusion, this book is a timely and important contribution to the literature on doctoral supervision. It provides a comprehensive analysis of the practices and policies in major doctoral awarding countries, and offers valuable insights and recommendations for improving the quality and effectiveness of supervision. By examining the experiences and perspectives of supervisors, policymakers, and scholars, this book contributes to the ongoing development of doctoral education and training globally.
