| Summary: | Abstract
This article investigates doctorateness in Norway by evaluating
the juridical regulations for doctoral studies at all PhD-awarding
universities and university colleges according to the following
categories: admission, compulsory training, the PhD dissertation,
supervision and evaluation, and completion. Descriptive qualitative
document analyses were applied. As such, the article contributes
to the growing field of knowledge on the assessment of PhD education.
The findings indicate that the majority of the PhD regulations align
on several descriptors of doctorateness. However, the article suggests
improving the reliability of doctorateness by standardizing and
unifying some areas in the regulations.
