References -- Taulbee Surveys

The annual Taulbee survey, conducted by the Computing Research Association, is the primary source of information on North American faculty and Ph.D. production in computer science and computer engineering. It is one of the most complete and accurate surveys of its kind in the science and engineering fields and reveals issues and trends affecting the computing research pipeline.
