This is a brief description of the Survey of Earned Doctorates indicating how the resulting data are used and the
individual confidentiality of data is protected. The basic purpose of this Survey is to gather objective data about
doctoral graduates, data that are often helpful in improving graduate education. We ask your cooperation with
the project.
The information requested on the accompanying questionnaire is largely self-explanatory. Please complete it, detach
it along the perforated line, and return it to your Graduate Dean. On the back of this sheet is a Specialties List
with code numbers and titles for classifying your fields of specialization. This will be useful in connection with several
items on the questionnaire. If none of the detailed fields listed seems to be appropriate, note the "General" and
"Other" categories.
What is the Survey of Earned Doctorates?
The Survey is conducted annually by the Commission on Human Resources of the National Research Council in
cooperation with the American Council of Learned Societies and the Social Science Research Council. The form is
distributed with the cooperation of the Graduate Deans and filled out by all graduates who have completed require-
ments for their doctoral degrees. Research doctorates in all fields are included, but professional degrees such as the
MD, DDS, and DVM are not included because information about recipients of those degrees is compiled elsewhere.
The cumulative file goes back to 1920 and is called the Doctorate Records File.
The use of the doctoral data has been increasing, partly because of the implications for graduate education stemming
from the change in the growth pattern of the number of persons receiving doctorates (562 in 1920; 3,278 in 1940; 9,735
in 1960; 29,497 in 1970; peaking at 33,727 in 1973; and now at 30,850 in 1978). This survey attempts to supply some
of the information as of the time the doctorate is received.
What uses are made of the Survey data?
The data collected by this survey questionnaire become part of the Doctorate Records File maintained by the
Commission on Human Resources of the National Research Council. The Survey data are collected with the intention
that they will be put to use, but only under carefully defined conditions. Such data as the number of degrees awarded
in each field of specialization, the educational preparation of degree recipients, their sources of financial support, the
length of time required to attain the degree, and postdoctoral employment plans of doctorate recipients are of great
interest to graduate schools, employers, the scholarly community, and the nation generally. The Doctorate Records File
is used for a limited number of carefully defined follo~v-up research studies. Each year a sample of doctorate recipients
is selected for inclusion in a longitudinal research file maintained for the blational Science Foundation, the National
Institutes of Health, and the National Endowment for the Humanities.
Statistical summaries from the Doctorate Records File are used by educational institutions, professional societies,
and government agencies. Some specific examples are:
· An extensive statistical summary of the data is published and distributed to all graduate schools about every five
years.')' These reports have been widely used by graduate schools and states to evaluate their progress in providing
doctoral education. The data may also be useful to graduate students as an aid in selecting a graduate department.
· Annual reports containing statistical summaries based on the most recent year's Survey are distributed to graduate
schools, government agencies, and any others on request.'2'
The confidentiality of Survey data is carefully protected.
This information is solicited under the authority of the National Science Foundation Act of 1950, as amended. All
information you provide will be treated as confidential and will be used for statistical purposes only. Information will
be released only in the form of statistical summaries or in a form which does not identify Information about any par-
ticular person. There are only two exceptions to this policy: (1) information (name, year, and field of degree) is
released to institutions from which you received degrees and to other organizations as part of tile address search pros
cedure for follow-up research studies; and (2) Information from your form will be made available to the institution
where you receive your doctoral degree. Your response is entirely voluntary and your failure to provide some or all
of the information will in no way adversely affect you.
