DOCUMENTATION OF RISIS DATASETS Doctoral Degree and Career Dataset (DDC)

Documentation is presented for The Doctoral Degree and Career Dataset (DDC). In the framework of the RISIS2 project, DDC is an experimental dissertation-centric database. It primarily consists of an enriched PhD publication dataset which brings togehter information about the dissertation (e.g., topic mapping), about the degree-granting university (e.g., geolocation), as well as basic information about the individual (e.g., gender). The DDC is also leveraging linkages in the RISIS Infrastructure to develop a caeer indicator. This second iteration covers the PhD production for the full two cohorts (2010,2014) for six countries ( AT, DE, IL, NL, ES, NO). The documentation details the design and contents of the dataset.
