Good practice recommendations for implementation of career-tracking survey of doctorate holders
This document gives practical recommendations for implementation of career-tracking surveys. The current guidelines are meant for universities wishing to set up an institutional career-tracking survey.

It includes among others, surveys that trace back doctorate holders’ careers over several years, cohort studies at several moments in time or longitudinal surveys (based on the definition of career tracking of researchers, European Science Foundation, 2012 [3]; definition of tracking in EUA’s “Tracking Learners’ and Graduates’ Progression Paths” project [4]).
