Collaboration, Stars, and the Changing Organization of Science : Evidence from Evolutionary Biology
Agrawal, Ajay - 2013
We report a puzzling pair of facts concerning the organization of science. The concentration of research output is declining at the department level but increasing at the individual level. For example, in evolutionary biology, over the period 1980 to 2000, the fraction of citation-weighted...
