"The data up to master's degrees is taken from the National Science Foudnation's Jan. 1992 report, Women and Minorities in Science and Engineering: An Update. The remaining data is from the 1991-92 CRA Taulbee Survey. The two databases are not entirely compatible. The NSF data is for 1989, whereas the CRA Taulbee data is from 1991-92. NSF includes information sciences departments, and the CRA survey includes Canadian universities. At their point of overlap, the NSF data shows the Ph.D. percentage at 17%, which is shown as dashes in the figure."
