Norman Bradburn: "The Future of the Doctoral Degree in the U.S."
a joint lecture by the Institute for Research Information and Quality Assurance (http://www.research-information.de/) and the Berlin Graduate School of Social Sciences (http://www.bgss.hu-berlin.de/)
"Are too many or too few doctorates awarded in the U.S.?"
In his lecture, Professor Bradburn explains how both positions could be true – and what reforms are being proposed to resolve the contradiction.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
