Purpose

In this review paper, the authors are particularly interested in the growth in the scholarly investigation of the efficacy of developmental interventions for doctoral and early career researchers. This paper aims to provide a “State of the Art” overview of the emerging fields of research and suggest areas that command more research.

Design/methodology/approach

A foundation of key disseminations relating to the new discipline has become established, and it is the outputs of these that the authors look to first in their review. However, much of the work is reported in the proceedings of two specific conferences, known to the authors and does not appear in database searches, which results in a concentration of research in two specific countries, namely, the UK and Australia. Relatively little is found from database searches, however approached, but the authors also report on this work.

Findings

There is a general gap in the depth of the body of work in all areas of literature relating to research on the practice of developing researchers. We have identified specific areas as the most limited in terms of the body of published research including research governance; work life balance; engagement influence and impact training and creativity and innovation training.

Research limitations/implications

There is much work as yet unpublished and the practice of rigorous study and publication is not yet generally embedded in this research discipline.

Practical implications

Without the depth of rigorous and robust findings of research to provide us with evidence of good practice, the emergent discipline will struggle to have integrity in its practice. Continued growth in research in this emergent discipline is essential.

Originality/value

To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is the first review of its kind looking at the published research in respect of the development of researchers.

研究人员发展的实践：“最先进的”

目的

在这篇评论论文中，作者对博士和早期职业研究人员发展干预有效性的学术调查的增长特别感兴趣。本文旨在提供新兴研究领域的“最新技术”概述，并建议需要更多研究的领域。

设计/方法/方法

与新学科相关的关键传播的基础已经建立，作者在审查中首先关注的是这些成果的产出。然而，大部分工作是在作者已知的两个特定会议的会议记录中报告的，并且没有出现在数据库搜索中，这导致研究集中在两个特定国家，即英国和澳大利亚。无论采用何种方法，从数据库搜索中发现的相对较少，但作者也报告了这项工作。

发现

与发展研究人员实践研究相关的所有文献领域的工作深度普遍存在差距。我们已确定特定领域在已发表研究的主体方面最为有限，包括研究治理；工作与生活的平衡; 参与影响力和影响力培训以及创造力和创新培训。

研究限制/影响

有很多工作尚未发表，严谨的研究和出版实践尚未普遍嵌入到这一研究学科中。

实际影响

如果没有严谨和稳健的研究结果为我们提供良好实践的证据，新兴学科将难以在实践中保持完整性。这一新兴学科的研究持续增长至关重要。

原创性/价值

据作者所知，这是第一次对已发表的研究人员发展研究进行审查。
