Significant variations in the ratio and in the female percentage of Doctoral (PhD) degrees awarded can be better understood considering that the number of Doctoral (PhD) degrees awarded in all cases is quite small and therefore small variations in the absolute numbers reflect on a strong variation in the percentages.

(RU) France
Statistics reported covers only public higher education institutions supervised by the Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation (Ministère de l’Enseignement supérieur, de la Recherche et de l’Innovation) which are granted to deliver national diplomas (diplômes nationaux) [FR1]. The data from private higher education institutions (e.g. École Pour l'Informatique et les Techniques Avancées - EPITA, etc.) and institutions supervised by other Ministries (e.g. École Polytechnique, Institut Mines Télécom, etc.) which represent approximately 10% of all reputable Informatics higher education institutions in France is not available.

(RU) Italy
For Italy numbers have been updated for all years. In previous years (before 2019), we counted PhD students and degrees from two areas of study: Informatics (Scienze Informatiche) and Informatics Engineering (Ingegneria dell'Informazione). This year, in a new Opendata portal of the Ministry of Education, University and Research, we found few degrees from other areas of study like Big Data Management, Bioinformatics, Informatics and Mathematics, etc. which were overlooked in previous years and now counted under Informatics. In addition, we were able to filter out some degrees not related to Informatics like Automation Engineering, Bioengineering, etc. which were wrongly counted under Informatics in previous years.

2019/20 saw the introduction of a new subject coding system, the Higher Education Classification of Subjects (HECoS), which replaced the previous subject coding system used in years prior to 2019/20. This change slightly affected the distribution of students across fields of study, including Informatics. Therefore time series comparisons between 2010/11-2018/19 and 2019/20-2020/21 years should be made with caution [UK7]. Numbers are rounded to the nearest 5.
