How to read this table
Differences between rows allow for an assessment of each specific scientific field's contribution to the total number of graduates. By comparing indicators for physical-mathematical, chemical, and other fields, the structure of higher scientific personnel training can be traced to identify the most in-demand disciplines. The total row sums the total number of persons who completed postgraduate studies for each specified period
What is visible in these numbers
Top five values: Total — Graduates from postgraduate studies (35,162), Total — of which with thesis defence (9,635), Engineering — Graduates from postgraduate studies (8,738), Engineering — of which with thesis defence (2,129), Physics and mathematics — Graduates from postgraduate studies (2,106). The gap between the highest and lowest is by a factor of 2,512. The top five account for 82.7% of the total across all positions — the distribution is heavily skewed toward the top
Observations are annual; total periods 8. 200 out of 200 possible values (100%) are filled, meaning the table is almost entirely complete

Period and application
Statistical information for the 2010–2017 period is relevant for a detailed analysis of the human resource potential of Russian science. Data on the number of persons who completed their studies are presented in persons for each reporting year. This data is useful for education system researchers, sociologists, and specialists in the strategic planning of the country's scientific and technological development
How it is calculated
The number of graduates by field shows how many people will enter the labour market in a few years and in which regions
Source disclaimers: In 2017, postgraduate graduates were counted by fields of science and by fields of study
1) В 2017 году выпуск аспирантов осуществлялся по отраслям наук и по направлениям подготовки.
