“…Although the database has some coverage issues (Fuentes Pujol et al, 2010) as well as data quality problems (Sánchez-Jiménez et al, 2017), it has been successfully used as an information source for meta-analysis and systematic reviews (Castellano et al, 2014;Catalá-López et al, 2012). It has also been abundantly used in the study of diverse fields through their dissertation literature, such as psychology (Musi-Lechuga et al, 2009), education (Curiel-Marín & Fernández-Cano, 2015, emergency medicine (Fernández-Guerrero, 2015), scientific medical information (Fernández-Guerrero et al, 2020) or sports science (Hernández-González et al, 2020). The scope of our research involves a very long period of time, from the late seventies to 2021, and a very wide range of scientific disciplines, that basically covers the whole spectrum of science.…”

“…Although it has been used widely, it has not been updated since 1988 (Ruiz-Martínez et al, 2014), which has resulted in clear misadaptation to some scientific fields, such as Planetary Geology and Astrobiology (Martínez-Frías & Hochberg, 2007), Communication (Marzal Felici et al, 2016),Nursing (Pedraz Marcos, 2005) and even some medical disciplines (Fernández-Guerrero, 2015). The UNESCO Nomenclature was used to classify dissertations in Spain, but was also formally adopted and used as a reference in scientific policymaking, which made it worthy of attention to scholars over the years.…”

Gender imbalance in doctoral education: an analysis of the Spanish university system (1977–2021)

Doctoral education is a key feature of university systems, as well as a basic foundation of scientific practice. That period culminates in a dissertation and examination of the candidate that has been studied from several points of view. This paper reports the results of an analysis on the evolution and characteristics of gender imbalance of a complete doctoral system for a wide period of time. Data from the database Teseo was used in order to identify the individuals involved in the process, the scientific fields in which the dissertations where classified, and the institutions in which the examination took place. Results: the Spanish system shows a clear evolution towards gender balance, but also some concerning trends that are worth tracking. Seemingly, STEM disciplines look to be evolving more slowly than other branches of science in several aspects. A leaky pipeline is characterized in this system around the roles of supervisors, candidates, members and chairs of the dissertation committees. Gender assortativity is also studied and described, and its possible effects discussed around the academic relations that surround doctoral examination.

“…In Spain, studies on doctoral theses in various fields of knowledge are also frequent. For example, Fernández-Guerrero [17] analysed 347 theses on medical scientific information. Machan and Portero [18] studied 1036 doctoral theses in radiodiagnosis carried out from 1976 to 2011.…”

The aim of this study is to characterise the scientific production in higher arts education, to identify the universities with the highest production, the most researched topics, the directors of the theses, as well as the gender distribution of authors and directors. The production of doctoral theses in the period 1987-2021 was analysed from the TESEO database, identifying 387 doctoral theses, their distribution by university, number of directors and co-directors, and gender distribution of authors and directors. In addition, the Bradford areas of production by university were identified. The University Complutense of Madrid is the institution with the highest production of theses in higher arts education, being in general larger universities the ones with the highest production. Theses predominantly centered on music and performing arts, with less attention to plastic and visual arts. Women are more present than men as authors and directors. The importance of higher arts education as a field of research in Spain is highlighted and the need to promote thematic diversity and equal gender participation in scientific production is evident. The observed decrease in production since 2015 suggests the need to continue fostering research in higher arts education and to support researchers in this area.
