•Research methods proliferation requires new ways to learn empirical techniques.•Online webcasts provide exposure to doctoral students in the field of management.•A system for coding and rating an existing source of webcasts is offered.•Incorporating this system can facilitate webcast usage in doctoral programs.
Research methods training for doctoral students is crucial to the development of the management discipline, yet acquiring depth and breadth across research methods education in a doctoral program can be challenging. As a resource to enhance research methods training, the Consortium for the Advancement of Research Methods and Analysis (CARMA) has been providing online webcasts led by topic experts on contemporary methodological issues since 2004. This paper provides an evaluation and categorization of the 92 webcasts produced during CARMA's first decade to facilitate the incorporation of webcasts into doctoral-level methods training that enhance the depth and breadth of doctoral students' exposure to research methods.
