Every year, the Analysis, Evaluation and Indicators division at the Icelandic Centre for Research (RANNIS) gathers information on the number of Icelanders who graduate with a doctoral degree from institutes in Iceland and abroad. RANNIS strives to compile very accurate data, especially since the number of new doctorates has often been used to estimate the capabilities of a country in science and technology. RANNIS gathers this information by using the Mbl database (www.mbl.is/gagnasafn), as well as gathering data from the Icelandic universities which offer doctoral education. As yet these are the University of Iceland and the Iceland University of Education.
