Abstract
The article links the nature of planning as a discipline, the quality of planning scholarship, and the training of our doctoral students in research methods. Deficiencies in research methods training that were identified by the Commission on the Doctorate in 1993 probably have not been ameliorated and may have expanded. A set of recommendations for the steps that doctoral programs could take to ameliorate the deficiencies are provided.
