Staff research presentations
The Graduate Research School will be welcoming Professor Karen Klomparens to Edith Cowan University in November, for a series of research training presentations.
Karen is Associate Provost Graduate Education and Dean of the Graduate School at Michigan State University. She has recently completed a term on the Council of Graduate Schools Board of Directors and Executive Committee.
The Graduate Research School would like to invite you to join them for presentations she will be giving on graduate student research training issues.
Research and scholarly integrity
As part of the project on Scholarly Integrity, Michigan State University (in collaboration with Pennsylvania State University and University of Wisconsin-Madison) assessed the research integrity climate at their institutions.
The survey to assess the Climate for Research Integrity was instrumental in understanding the content areas that were least and best understood by academics and research students by discipline. It also focused attention on research integrity as a measure of the quality of research and as a fundamental knowledge area for the next generation of researchers: our research candidates.
This project is being used to develop best practice in integrating scholarly integrity and responsible conduct into research training and research practice.

Institutionalising change to improve doctoral completions
The PhD Completion Project is a seven-year research project that addresses issues surrounding PhD completion and attrition. Some reasons for attrition vary by discipline and others are common across disciplines. The same can be said of completion and the array of interventions that may, indeed, help students succeed. Attrition, when not completely justified for academic reasons, wastes valuable resources: academic and student time and university resources such as space and materials, yet it seems to be an “invisible” problem.
This presentation will provide an overview of some of the intervention strategies and pilot projects that have been created as an outcome of this project.
