N2 - Doctoral education is central to both the production of knowledge and the reproduction of disciplines-producing the next generation of researchers. This paper considers the doctoral and supervisory experiences associated with the 'the PhD by publication'-in which a dissertation comprises a number of stand-alone 'publishable' papers, along with introductory and concluding overviews. Using the entry points of human geography and our experiences doing and supervising these PhDs, we provide a number of guidelines for human geographers, and illuminate the identity work involved in this specific process of producing scholars.
