| Abstract: | If the number of doctorates were only a function of the number of professors, Sweden should be expected to excel Norway by a factor of 1.5‐2. This figure is actually 8‐10 times as high for those faculties in which Sweden requires a Ph.D. for high‐school lecturers. Within Sweden, there is also a systematic covariation over time between the examination of doctors and the number of new positions filled as lecturers. Thus, the merit‐value of doctorates for Swedish higher education has been of great importance for the development of Swedish research in certain fields. |
