Analysis of the information about doctoral degrees presented in the Spanish universities websites

Due to the significant increase in the offer of doctoral programs, not only in Spain but throughout the EHEA, the institutions involved in these studies point out the quality and competitiveness are two of the more important ten questions for them. To promote the interest of graduates to continue their education after the graduate level, it would be necessary to improve the published information of the doctoral programs. It should increase the visibility and provide high-quality, easily accessible and comparable information which includes all the relevant aspects of these programs. The aim of this study is to analyse the web information available related to the quality of agroforestry doctorates. Webs of 35 doctoral degree programs, established in 2011, were reviewed. In each, 45 items related to quality of the resources, program results and related management have been analysed. The most common information found on these sites is: the admission criteria, admission requirements and the number of places available. Programs include between 5 and 16 of the proposed items. Only in some cases it is possible to find information about the quality of the complete doctoral thesis. Website design is not attractive and there are missing much relevant information.
