German term

Promotionsleistungen

German to English Science Education / Pedagogy Academia
Context:

Hiermit ist auch eine Neubewertung der Promotion, der Promotionsleistungen und des Beitrages der „doctores“ zur Entwicklung der Wissenschaft insgesamt einhergegangen.

I'm not sure if this really refers to the effor required to obtain a doctorate, the contrubution made by PhD holders to society as a whole, or what.

The field of this question should really be Academia, rather than Science, but since that isn't an option, and since having it marked as Science won't direct it to completely inappropriate answerers, I have opted for Science.

Discussion

David Williams (asker) Jun 1, 2010:
How about "a re-evaluation of PhDs, the work done to obtain a PhD and the contribution made by PhD holders, or “doctores”, to the development of science as a whole"?
David Williams (asker) Jun 1, 2010:
That seems an odd generalisation to me, especially given that this text is directed purely at biologists and pharmacologists
Kim Metzger May 31, 2010:
Traditionally we have used Social Sciences for academic terms.
David Williams (asker) May 31, 2010:
Definitely not limited to either Social Science or Education.
Kim Metzger May 31, 2010:
Field What about Social Science, Education?

doctoral degree requirements/ requirements for doctoral degrees

I understand this as the process to obtain the doctoral degree.

While the requirements to the degree vary from one system to another, they are all requirements with the ultimate goal of obtaining the doctoral degree. I think this option allows for the varying systems.

The following lists information of course work, language requirement and dissertation in the US.

See Kim's post for German requirements.

Here is a good basic overview for the various doctoral degrees

Note from asker:
Ah! So would these be formal credits of some kind?
While postgraduate students als have to perform such duties while working towards their PhD in England, I think it is a little unliklely that these duties are what is being referred to here.
