The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Knowledge Networks and Careers: Academic Scientists in Industry-University Links (2007, unknown): “Freeman et al (2001) argue that the tournament model of career in universities provides a powerful incentive for scientists to work hard to produce high effort and output.”
Not All Scientists pay to be Scientists (2014, unknown): “who are willing to give up pay in exchange for opportunities to engage in open science (Stern, 2004; Gans et al., 2010). Stern (2004), for example, showed that R&D positions that offered a science-oriented environment also offered lower wages, concluding that scientists “pay” to be scientists.”
The Perverse Effects of Competition on Scientists’ Work and Relationships (2007, background): “Freeman and colleagues [28] have characterized the problem as follows: ‘‘Research in the biosciences fits a tournament economic structure.”
Do Foreign Students Crowd Out Native Students from Graduate Programs (2004, background): “3 Freeman et al (2001) describe how the major shifts in the bioscience job market, shifts that are partly due to the influx of foreign students, alter the incentives for pursuing careers in that sector.”
