na = not applicable; respondents were instructed to indicate only one race.
a
Native Hawaiians and Other Pacific Islanders are included in counts only through 2000; after 2000, these groups were included in Other/unknown.
b
Before 2001 this category included only doctorate recipients who are not Hispanic and did not indicate their race, respondents selecting two or more races, and doctorate
recipients with unknown race and ethnicity; since 2001 this category has included doctorate recipients who are not Hispanic and did not indicate their race, Native Hawaiians or
Other Pacific Islanders, and doctorate recipients with unknown race and ethnicity.
NOTES: Categories are grouped according to National Science Foundation taxonomy, which is different from the classification listed in questionnaire and summary reports.
That is, the following categories are included in social sciences and not in humanities: American/U.S. studies; history, science and technology, and society; and archaeology. In
addition, public administration is included in social sciences and not in professional fields, agricultural economics is included in social sciences and not in biological sciences,
and agricultural business and management is included in business management/administration and not in agricultural sciences.
