A scoping review protocol of the lived experiences of doing a PhD in Africa.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

This scoping review aims to investigate the available literature on the lived experiences of doing a PhD in African Universities.

Introduction

The continent of Africa still contributes a minimal amount of research towards global research outputs. The need for increased research capacity and outputs have been identified as priority for growth and development. There is a substantial need for evidence-based solutions that can alleviate some of these complexities. For example, challenges still exist in the disease burden faced, economic poverty and lack of infrastructure in various contexts.

Methods and analysis

Multiple databases will be searched, including the EBSCO Host, Scopus, EMBASE, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), Medlin
