Online doctoral degree student awarded for scholarly article reviews

Those who hold a doctoral degree can earn more than $1,532 per week, according the Bureau of Labor Statistics. These professionals also have significantly lower rates of unemployment than those with less education.

Daniel Dayton, a doctoral degree candidate at Capella University, was recently recognized as a 2010 Outstanding Reviewer by the Academy of Management, which is an association for scholars who are dedicated to spreading knowledge about management. The online student received the honor for contributing quality feedback to the scholarly articles he reviewed this year.

"When being presented with the award, I was told that my reviews are constructive, supportive, thorough, well-researched and philosophically deeper than the common review," Dayton said. "This is both immensely fulfilling and humbling, as this has allowed me to participate in the process of generating knowledge with some of the scholarly giants in my field by not only listening and absorbing their wisdom, but also by contributing to their streams of thought."

Dayton, who is earning his online doctoral degree in organization and management, is one of the more than 12,000 students enrolled in doctorate program at the school.
