Minimum goal for the dissertations (Business studies) has been
in 2010-2013 : 12 dissertations
- nr of finished dissertations/degrees has been below the
goal
- the goal and nr of finished works should be higher if the
University/Faculty wants to be among the three
most important units in Business studies (at least 15,
preferably 20)
Goal to organize in cooperation with the UV graduate school at
least six courses annually
In addition general research seminars – although internal
/research groups´ and national – international research
meetings more important
Some informal meetings – next planned to be in

This research seminar offers a forum for the doctoral students of the universities
functioning in Vaasa to present and develop their own research. The seminar
supports researchers especially in issues of argumentation and scientific writing.
It also helps to understand methodological and ethical issues and problems
related to scientific research.
In the first meeting, the schedule for paper presentations and acting as an
opponent is settled. In each seminar meeting, two or three papers are discussed.
The Research Seminar of the Graduate School is supplementary education that
does not substitute the postgraduate seminar of the student’s major subject.

Timing: 2.12. klo 10-15, 3.12. klo. 9-16 (continues in the Spring 2014, March-April)
Place: Tervahovi D103
Teacher: professor Joakim Wincent
•
Learning Outcomes:
1. To be able to critically analyze what is a effective framing and positioning of an article in terms of
academic writing.
2. Identify how to present research in a written form.
3. Be familiar with some emerging trends in qualitative and quantitative research.
4. Critically evaluate own and others writing.
5. Be familiar with examples of what can considered to be recognized approaches of writing articles.
6. Writing one conceptual/ qualitative/ quantitative article that have the scientific standard to be presented
at an academic conference or published in an academic journal.
•
This course is organized as a forum for discussing and improving participants reading and writing of research articles.
During the process, the goal with the course is to facilitate participants to help each other to better write and
recommend sharp advices about clear and effective writing. Selected texts cover a variation of readings about theory,
method, the review process and how to get cited, but also a set of existing research articles (“normal” research papers)
which are analyzed at the seminar, focusing of structure, approach and content.
Participants will be guided through writing strategies of others, get feedback on own articles and give response on texts
of other members of the forum. During the course, aspects covering formulating interesting research problems,
carefully thought of research designs and methods, trends, and common reasons for rejection will be discussed and
analyzed. We discuss research articles from the role of being an author and from being an editor or a reviewer.
Examination is based upon active participation at research seminars and by writing a research paper during the course.
Each participant is expected to verbally present a rough topic of which they plan to write the paper about for the first
seminar.
Modes of Study: The course will consist of four seminars. The material is distributed ahead of the course and during
seminars.

SEMINAR/METODISEMINAARI (1 teema)
•
•
•
Metodiseminaarissa tohtorikoulutettava perehtyy uusiin
tutkimusmetodeihin ja niihin liittyviin erityiskysymyksiin.
Uusien tutkimusmenetelmien esittely ja niihin perehtyminen
antaa tutkijalle virikkeitä ja uusia metodisia näkökulmia
tieteellisen tutkimuksen tekemiseen.
Opiskelija saa valmiudet tunnistaa erilaisiin tutkimusongelmiin
sopivia tutkimusmenetelmiä sekä saa työvälineitä tutkimuksen
suunnitteluun ja aineiston analysointiin. Opiskelija oppii myös
asettamaan oman tutkimuksensa laajempiin metodologisiin ja
teoreettisiin viitekehyksiin.
Kurssi koostuu alan asiantuntijoiden pitämistä seminaareista,
jolla kullakin perehdytään johonkin tutkimusmetodiin.

Pass with Distinction
The work contributes to the research area significantly. In his/her doctoral dissertation as well as in the public
defence of the dissertation, the doctoral candidate has proven that s/he has become well-versed in his/her own
field of research and its social significance and has gained knowledge and skills needed to apply scientific research
methods independently and critically and to produce new scientific knowledge within his/her field of research.
Pass
The work’s contribution to the research area meets the requirements of an acceptable doctoral dissertation. In
his/her doctoral dissertation as well as in the public defence of the dissertation, the doctoral candidate has proven
that s/he has become well-versed in his/her own field of research and its social significance and has gained
knowledge and skills needed to apply scientific research methods independently and critically and to produce new
scientific knowledge within his/her field of research.
Fail
Shortcomings are evident in most of the following areas: unclear objective and limitations; contribution of the
work is not evident; there are serious shortcomings/problems both in the theoretical framework and in the
empirical part; critical analysis by the author is missing or is very limited; main concepts and/or basic
justifications for the choices made in the work are either not defined or are very limited and/or problematic.
•
Regardless of the form, the dissertation is always evaluated based on the entire dissertation.

GOOD PRACTICE
Following of good scientific practice very important
- co-operation, use of material and references
Co-operation: remember always to agree in detail about the
terms of cooperation: what is allowed and what is not.
Checking and confirming that you really have use to the
material.
Correct references.
