dataset · IRD
The DWISE dataset documents the structural endowments shaping doctoral work, with a focus on objective inequalities in resources, institutional support, and research conditions. It is based on an original survey conducted among 98 doctoral candidates from two doctoral schools at Cheikh Anta Diop University (UCAD) in Dakar, Senegal, and forms part of the research activities of the GTDID (Working Group on Doctoral Disparities and Inequalities). Data were collected in two waves, in May and October 2025. The dataset covers key dimensions of doctoral structural endowments, including funding conditions, working time allocation, supervision, institutional integration, access to research infrastructures, scientific networks, mobility opportunities, and to open science tools. These data enable empirical analyses of how unequal structural conditions shape doctoral trajectories and the capacity to conduct scientific work, as well as an examination of open science as a potential compensatory mechanism for Global North/South research inequalities. DWISE is part of a comparative and extensible framework and is intended to be expanded to research institutions in additional countries.
