Abstract
Research output is seen as an indicator of quality. Emerging
higher education hubs, such as the United Arab Emirates, are
heavily focused on developing research activity within the
constraints of a developing research culture. This paper
employs a case study model of a research-intensive univer
sity in Dubai to highlight key challenges and obstacles to
doctoral student research publication; and develop an under
standing of the value of the academic doctorate. The authors
conducted surveys, interviews and observation to provide an
evidence-based analysis. This paper adds to literature regard
ing research output of doctoral students and the practical
challenges they are facing. The paper outlines key areas for
development and possible institutional response.
