StatsCan: The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED)

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Just released by Statistics Canada today and available in full-text online: Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) for 2007 – 2008

“The Survey of Earned Doctorates (SED) is an annual census of doctorate recipients in Canada that was conducted for the first time on a national basis during the 2003-2004 academic year. The basic purpose of this survey is to gather data about all doctoral graduates in Canada to inform government, associations, universities and other stakeholders on the characteristics and plans of these very highly qualified graduates as they leave their doctoral programs.”
