Dear Ken
ENQUA and ERASMUS says all of research activities must be ¨high
qualty international disseminated¨. and all EU idea is develop rules
until 2010 to compute with north american research dissemination
Therefore there is no certain rule. But Turkish Authority look at
all these and interpret
PhD research must need to be published in indexed journal. For
instance Illinois Institute of Technology, Institute of Design
requires 1 intentional quality conference paper before
qualification exam, high quality 2 journal published article before
submission of PhD.
Looking at this example, Turkish Authority looks at these Research
University and ask us what we must do in design research.
Therefore my original question what is your process.... What other
Countries thinks what other European University develops what rules.
There is no argument if design research need publication. The time is
now to decide how many publication and what is the quality level as
looking at North American University until 2010
