Looking Across and Looking Beyond the Knowledge Frontier: Intellectual Distance, Novelty, and Resource Allocation in Science (2016, background): “(Kuhn, 1962; Merton 1968; Dasgupta and David, 1994; Stephan, 2012).”
Not All Scientists pay to be Scientists (2014, unknown): “This system has advantages to the extent that research results have characteristics of a public good, leading to sub-optimal incentives for research in a traditional market system (Stephan, 2012).”
Flying the nest: how the home department shapes researchers’ career paths (2017, unknown): “Alternatively, researchers - especially those in science and engineering - may leave academia and move to a career in industry.1 For instance, in the US about 34% of physicists and 46% of chemists were employed by private sector firms five to six years after obtaining their PhD (Stephan 2012).”
Creativity at the Knowledge Frontier: The Impact of Specialization in Fast- and Slow-paced Domains* (2018, background): “This is not surprising given their graduate training and the importance of establishing a domain of specialty for career advancement in academia (e.g., Franzoni, Scellato, and Stephan, 2011; Stephan, 2012).”
