What do you mean by doctoral students counted as staff?
In the Netherlands, doctoral ’students’ are not enrolled as students but are employed by the university. Statistics show a separate staff category for them. So they are on the payroll of the university and therefore should be counted as staff. Student assistants are also on the payroll of the university but they are no doctoral students and are excluded as academic staff; see the glossary (www.u-map.eu/Glossary.pdf)
If doctoral students (or perhaps better: doctoral candidates) are enrolled as students they should not be counted as staff. If they are not enrolled and not on the payroll of institutions, they are not visible here (but they will be visible in the section graduates).
How to deal with staff members with a double nationality?
