“…The first variable observes the number of scientific articles published by respondents after the end of their doctoral studies. While we are aware that patents and invention disclosures might be used as indicators of researchers' innovation productivity (Goel and Göktepe-Hultén, 2020), the focus on articles allows us to focus on pure research. The second variable is a dummy that takes the value of one for those who declare that their current job is not related at all to R&D.…”

PurposeThis paper contributes to the empirical analysis of PhD holders' transition into the non-academic labor market (i.e. their intersectoral mobility). The research focuses on doctoral graduates specialized in a field of study supposed to have notable non-academic applications, namely Industrial and Information Engineering. We inspect whether these doctoral graduates experience lower satisfaction with PhD knowledge use on the job when they work outside universities and non-public research centers.Design/methodology/approachWe use cross-sectional survey data collected by the Italian National Institute of Statistics in 2014. Ordinary least squares and ordered logit analyses provide baseline results; furthermore, we apply a multinomial endogenous treatment model to control for potential bias arising from self-selection into employment sectors.FindingsWe find evidence that for PhD holders Industrial and Information Engineering being employed in the industrial and services sector implies lower satisfaction with the use of doctoral knowledge than that reported by their counterparts working in universities or public research centers.Originality/valueThese results complement and extend previous evidence about PhD holders' career outcomes by focusing on the intersectoral mobility issue and on a specific group of doctoral graduates whose intersectoral mobility potential is expected to be high. Our findings call for policies that might trigger a better alignment between doctoral education and non-academic jobs.

“…Mainly the measurement of scientific productivity has been based on indicators of scientific publications, patents and awards (Goel & Göktepe-Hultén, 2019; Ribas et al, 2015), but when relating scientific productivity to the performance of RG the relevance to the group's size on performance and productivity is evident (Rey-Martin et al, 2008; Rueda-Barrios & Rodenes-Adam, 2016; García, 2019) where there is not always a positive correlation between these two factors, however, it is wise to establish a unit of measure that explains and compares the level of productivity based on the size of the RG in Colombia as a way of sizing individual activity. Mod et al (1984) considers that the production of RG is due to factors related to short-term impact, long-term impact and a quality notion, understood from cognitive, methodological, aesthetic quality; in turn, other determinants of the performance of RG are related to strong leadership, strategic direction, skills and human talent, complexity of collaboration focused on the subject, diversification and entrepreneurship (Harvey, Pettigrew & Ferlie, 2002), as well as co-authorship (Garner et al, 2018), in addition Brew et al (2016) compiles institutional characteristics variables, academic abilities, workload, time of dedication and communications, as well as demographic, physiological and psychological aspects (Goel & Göktepe-Hultén, 2019) or the reputation of researchers (Ribas, 2015), all of them useful variables to make comparisons about productivity between groups.…”

Scientific production is represented to a large extent through the papers published by researchers in scientific journals, but in the Colombian case, an analysis of the research capacities in the marketing area has not been done, therefore, neither a description of topics discussed nor the results scoped with those papers. For this reason, was sought to identify the productivity of research groups and researchers on the subject of marketing by analysing the documents published during the 21st century; as a consequence, this bibliometric research was focused on a quantitative, transverse and hermeneutical method, for that purpose had taken 607 academic paper published between 2000 and 2018, Those articles were generated by 108 research groups who have research lines in marketing and related, in order to exposes a quantitative individual and group productivity index, relates the topics investigated together with the scope of those publications, measured either the number of citations and levels of publications indexed from Publindex, Scopus, and SJR. The results show low productivity and impact of Colombian scientific production in marketing, however, since 2008 the production of articles has increased and the number of publications on the international scene has increased. Finally, the findings let do suggestions to improve those results in short term.

“…From the perspective of research, on the one hand, a mathematical model is constructed through average output and correlation analysis to obtain the general rule of the change in the influence of scientists' academic careers. On the other hand, the influence of various factors on academic achievement output has been studied, such as time series research on innovation productivity at the career promotion stage of academic scientists (Goel and Göktepe-Hultén 2020;Petersen et al 2012).…”

Research on dynamic evaluation method of individual scientific impact under multiple key nodes

Introduction. The purpose of this paper is to research an evaluation method for the development trend of the scientific impact of individual scientists before and after different key nodes in scientific careers. Method. This paper focuses on scientists at universities in Shanghai who obtained their first key programmes from the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) from 2011 to 2015. A two-node piecewise linear regression is used to divide the scientists’ individual academic trajectories. The Boston Consulting Group matrix (BCG-M) model is used to propose four types of talent. Analysis. The pr(y)-index is applied to evaluate the scientists’ impact. Several characteristics of the trajectory of the impact of individual scientists are defined by the change in the pr(y)-index growth rate. Results. The scientific impact of most scientists (66% and 62%) increased after they first obtained NSFC funding or their first key programme, respectively. The pr(y)-index of a 5-year time window is more sensitive to judge the of influence on scientific career. Conclusion. The two-node piecewise linear regression model successfully divided the academic trajectories of individual scientists into three stages。NSFC funding promotes academic influence. The talents are divided into star talent, focus talent, question talent and taurus talent.
