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.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This non-fiction work takes a deep-dive into the world of researchers and scientists and the impact their networking has on the relative success of new scientific breakthroughs. Observing its subject through the lens of sociometric event-history modeling, the author explores how a researcher's position within their field, with a specific focus on their collaborations, affects the duration of their work within a particular area of research. The author puts forth the argument that an individual researcher's network position within their institution and field is an important determinant of their persistence in the development of a new technology, drawing from data including co-authorship and other relational indices to craft their analysis. Overall, this book presents a thoughtful and data-driven analysis of the role that collaboration plays in the progression of scientific discovery.
