论文摘要
我们检查了大量波兰科学,技术,工程,数学和医学(STEMM)科学家(n = 16,083),以研究等级的进步和生产力。我们使用了两个先前被忽视的时间维度 - 促进年龄和促进速度 - 构建个人传记概况和出版概况。我们使用了一种分类方法和新的方法论方法的新方法学方法,其质感分类生产率。所有科学家均分配给不同的生产率,促进年龄和促进速度类别(前20%,中间60%和最低20%)。在所有学科中,这些模式都是一致的:过去年轻的晋升年龄阶层(和快速晋升速度级别)的科学家目前是最有生产力的。相比之下,过去的旧晋升年龄阶层(以及缓慢的晋升速度课程)目前的生产力最低。在三大学科中,副教授的年轻晋升年龄生产率差异为100-200%(全部教授150-200%);副教授的快速促进速度生产率差异为80-150%(全部教授100-170%)。通过回归分析证实了我们的结果,在该分析中,我们发现高层生产力类别中成员资格的几率估计值。我们合并了从所有波兰科学家和学者(n = 99,935)的国家登记册中收集的数据,以及在Scopus索引的所有波兰文章(n = 935,167)上的出版元数据。
We examined a large population of Polish science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) scientists (N = 16,083) to study rank advancement and productivity. We used two previously neglected time dimensions - promotion age and promotion speed - to construct individual biographical profiles and publication profiles. We used a classificatory approach and the new methodological approach of journal prestige-normalized productivity. All scientists were allocated to different productivity, promotion age, and promotion speed classes (top 20%, middle 60%, and bottom 20%). The patterns were consistent across all disciplines: scientists in young promotion age classes (and fast promotion speed classes) in the past were currently the most productive. In contrast, scientists in old promotion age classes (and slow promotion speed classes) in the past were currently the least productive. In the three largest disciplines, the young-old promotion age productivity differential for associate professors was 100-200% (150-200% for full professors); and the fast-slow promotion speed productivity differential for associate professors was 80-150% (100-170% for full professors). Our results were confirmed by a regression analysis in which we found odds ratio estimates of membership in top productivity classes. We combined data collected from the national register of all Polish scientists and scholars (N = 99,935) and publication metadata on all Polish articles indexed in Scopus (N = 935,167).
