参与社会的科学家在学术上表现得更好

Scientists who engage with society perform better academically

Pablo Jensen, Jean-Baptiste Rouquier, Pablo Kreimer, Yves Croissant

摘要:

大多数科研机构都认识到通过普及、产业合作或教学打开学术研究的所谓“象牙塔”的重要性。然而,人们对科学机构的实际开放程度以及它们宣布的优先事项如何转化为具体措施知之甚少。本文通过研究三个关键点来了解一些实际做法:积极参与广泛传播的研究人员的比例,这些科学家的学术生产力,以及他们在职业生涯方面对广泛传播活动的机构认可。我们分析了来自法国国家科学研究中心的数千名科学家的学术成果,职业认可和教学或公共/工业推广的广泛数据。我们发现,与人们通常认为的相反,积极参与广泛传播的科学家在学术上也更活跃。然而,他们的传播活动对他们的职业几乎没有影响(积极或消极)。

英文摘要:

Most scientific institutions acknowledge the importance of opening the so-called 'ivory tower' of academic research through popularization, industrial collaboration or teaching. However, little is known about the actual openness of scientific institutions and how their proclaimed priorities translate into concrete measures. This paper gives an idea of some actual practices by studying three key points: the proportion of researchers who are active in wider dissemination, the academic productivity of these scientists, and the institutional recognition of their wider dissemination activities in terms of their careers. We analyze extensive data about the academic production, career recognition and teaching or public/industrial outreach of several thousand of scientists, from many disciplines, from France's Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique. We find that, contrary to what is often suggested, scientists active in wider dissemination are also more active academically. However, their dissemination activities have almost no impact (positive or negative) on their careers.
