Abstract
The publications cited did not influence the quality of doctoral thesis proposals.Although some significant variables were found (a large number of cited publications was weakly correlated with higher quality), these variables explained practically none of the variability in quality.The only variable with predictive or explanatory value on the quality of thesis proposals was the number of citations: the greater the number ofcitations the higher the quality but this variable explained only 8.5% of the variability in quality.
