Quality and other technical information related to this item:
General
For the SDR, this item was not obtained directly from the survey form,
but was instead obtained from the sampling frame. The Survey of Earned
Doctorates (SED), an ongoing census of all U.S. doctorate recipients since
1942, was used to construct the sampling frame, and thus some information,
routinely collected by the SED, such as field of study and year of degree
award, was known about each respondent even before the SDR survey
data was collected.
