One other component of this argument that I believe is missing is the PhD by publication. This would allow someone to be a researcher and work towards a PhD in the manner the author describes.
- Fomite 4y agoMost modern graduate programs, at least the ones I'm in, effectively do this. Your "dissertation" is an introductory chapter, several free standing publications that are at least in submission, and a closing chapter wrapping it all together. While my postdoctoral mentor lamented the decline of the traditional dissertation, most programs even express their graduation requirements in terms of N Papers, in STEM fields.
- renegadeuser 4y agoAgreed. Mine was a fairly decent split, of publication and thesis. The perks of referencing yourself is an immensely satisfying experience.
