科学研究中的多样化与专业化:哪种战略值得?
Diversification versus specialization in scientific research: which strategy pays off?
摘要:
目前的工作解决了一个以前在文献中没有探讨过的主题:从科学家的主要领域以外的领域的研究活动中产生的结果是否比其他领域有更大的价值。在操作上,作者通过识别:每个研究人员的科学生产的观察;领域分类的出版物;领域包含的研究人员的出版物的最大数量;每个出版物的价值归属。研究结果表明,尽管在个别学科层面上存在一些例外,但在总体层面上的多元化并没有带来回报。政策层面的影响是显著的。由于科研机构的激励机制是以科研成果的影响为基础的,有关科学家可能会抵制从事多学科项目。
英文摘要:
The current work addresses a theme previously unexplored in the literature: that of whether the results arising from research activity in fields other than the scientist's pri-mary field have greater value than the others. Operationally, the authors proceed by identifying: the scientific production of each researcher under observation; field classifi-cation of the publications; the field containing the greatest number of the researcher's publications; attribution of value of each publication. The results show that diversifica-tion at the aggregate level does not pay off, although there are some exceptions at the level of individual disciplines. The implications at policy level are notable. Since the in-centive systems of research organizations are based on the impact of scientific output, the scientists concerned could resist engaging in multidisciplinary projects.
