Summary:increasing emphasis on transferable, generic or employability skills. In focusing on the issue of quality in doctoral education and on the quality of the student experience and the frameworks and practices supporting a high quality experience, the QPR 2014 conference returned to its roots and its focus on the individual student. This eBook includes papers on the issue of moral decision-making in the doctoral education arena and the problems caused by multiple perspectives on individual problems, the generic-discipline dilemma: the extent to which development support provided for research students (in this case in the relatively unexplored area of quantitative literacies) can be provided for research students through generic rather than discipline-specific training, the role played by peer mentoring in developing the research student's new professional identity using a CAS (Complex Adaptive Systems) theoretical perspective, an empirical investigation of the way in which peer feedback on student seminar presentation performance benefits Australian and non-Australian students differentially, the issue of three-minute theatre and discusses how students can be helped to approach the 3-Minute Thesis competition with a greater degree of confidence in both themselves and their material and a structured and critical reflection on an author's PhD experience and how she has faced the 'shocks' which are inevitable during a journey or a quest lasting for a minimum of three years
