Abstract

The following chapter is based on a SWOT analysis (strength, weakness, threat, opportunities) made in the literature review “Doctoral students’ well-being” (Schmidt & Hansson, 2018). Despite attempts to focus on a holistic and inclusive view of the well-being of doctoral researchers – investigating both how doctoral researchers can enhance their well-being and which factors lead to lack of well-being – the results of the review suggested a rather pathological depiction of the doctoral researchers’ ill-being. An update of the review is presented for 2017–2020. Based on the findings, recommendations for maintaining a sustainable approach to the well-being of doctoral researchers are presented.
