Abstract

The aim of this study was to carry out a scoping review of the available research literature examining how supervision, mentorships and tutorial activities can foster the doctoral study success. This scoping review was conducted in light of the PRISMA and the Joanna Briggs Institute guidelines. The search strategy produced 458 potentially relevant studies. We identified 14 studies that precisely met the inclusion criteria, isolating 10 factors, 19 actions and 38 techniques related to doctoral study success. They were classified according to four broad contexts: institutional, program, support and personal. These findings provide supervisors and institutions with the best available research evidence for improving the completion process in PhD studies.
