Synopsis

Excerpt from The Application of Sociometric and Event-History Modeling to Bibliometric Data: The Case of Transgene Plants

The danger of undue persistence is that the researcher's knowledge base becomes obsolete. Katz and Allen (1982) have provided extensive evidence on how 'persistence' eventually undermines research performance through the not - invented-here (nih) syndrome. Along similar lines, Gieryn (1978) has shown that 'productive' researchers switch research agendas regularly in order to avoid obsolescence. Not astonishingly.
