This book aims at contributing to our understanding of the dynamics
of academic scientific productivity through three complementary
studies. First, it analyzes how personal and institutional
characteristics condition the productivity of individual
researchers. Then, the analysis moves beyond the individual level,
recognizing that most scientific knowledge is produced by teams of
researchers. Hence, a second focus is to investigate how the social
capital that researchers build through their collaborations relates
to their scientific productivity. The final study addresses
tensions between the creation of new knowledge and the effort to
disseminate and apply the knowledge in the market place. In
particular, it investigates how entrepreneurial activities might
affect the research productivity of the scientists turned
entrepreneurs. The three studies address important public policy
concerns related to scientific productivity and the development of
science systems in general.
