| Περίληψη: | Creative arts disciplines constitute an important growth area for research higher degrees (HDR) and, in the years since Dennis Strand's landmark study (1998), have developed a body of knowledge and set of practices associated with research and research training. However, there is little empirical or theoretical work that investigates how examiners of creative arts doctorates arrive at the commentary presented in their reports, or how such reports add value to research in these disciplines. This project investigated assessment practices, processes and policies, as well as the beliefs and expectations of HDR students, supervisors and examiners in the creative arts. Through a series of roundtables, focus groups and surveys, along with benchmarking of university policies and processes, and the analysis of examiners' thesis reports, we have interrogated: whether there is agreement among artist-academics about what it means to undertake a creative arts doctorate; how the academy goes about the work of examining creative arts doctorates; and whether the creative arts disciplines can establish agreed standards of quality.
