Broadly speaking... doctorates may be loosely classified into the following categories... Research doctorates. [They] are awarded in recognition of academic research that is in principle publishable in a peer-refereed context(such as a research journal or monograph) and represents at least a modest contribution to human knowledge... Higher doctorates. In some countries, especially the United Kingdom, Ireland, Scandinavian and some Commonwealth countries there is a higher tier of research doctorates, awarded on the basis of a formally submitted portfolio of published research of a very high standard... Professional doctorates. [They] are awarded in certain fields where most holders of the degree are not engaged primarily in scholarly research and academic activities, but rather in a profession, such as law, medicine, music or ministry... Honorary doctorates. When a university wishes to formally recognize an individual' s achievements and contributions to a particular field, it may choose to award him or her a degree(usually a doctorate) honoris causa("for the sake of the honour"). 6, record 10, English, - doctorate

A skillologist believes that it is not the business of the universities to impart knowledge for its own sake, but merely to transmit, from generation to generation, a range of approved skills. Skillologists regard the concept of pure research as almost blasphemous and have now launched an attack against the research doctorate. [They propose] to scrap the thesis altogether, and award the title "doctor" to those who can satisfy the examiners merely as to their acquaintance with a range of research methodologies. 1, record 14, English, - skillologist
