Institutional Ecology, `Translations' and Boundary Objects: Amateurs and Professionals in Berkeley's Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, 1907-39

A predominant motif over recent years has been the need to extend the domain of technical decision-making beyond the technically qualified…

The Impact of Research Collaboration on Scientific Productivity

Sooho Lee, Barry Bozeman · 6 Sep 2005

Based on the curricula vitae and survey responses of 443 academic scientists affiliated with university research centers in the USA, we examine the longstanding assumption that research collaboration has a positive effect on publishing productivity. Since characteristics of the individual and the work environment are endogenously related to both collaboration and productivity, this study focuses…
