“…The postdoc system also reinforces the status ordering in science. Not only are next-generation scientific leaders more likely to complete postdocs with the elite of the current generation, but from an adviser's standpoint, successfully placing postdocs is itself a core dimension of status accrual in science (Long, Allison, and McGinnis 1979). The postdoctoral period is also considered to be a primary locus of socialization in the profession (Hagstrom 1965).…”

Actors and associates often match on a few dimensions that matter most for the relationship at hand. In so doing, they are exposed to unanticipated social influences because counterparts have broader attitudes and preferences than would-be contacts considered when they first chose to pair. The authors label as "partially deliberate" social matching that occurs on a small set of attributes, and they present empirical methods for identifying causal social influence effects when relationships follow this generative logic. A data set tracking the training and professional activities of academic biomedical scientists is used to show that young scientists adopt their advisers' orientations toward commercial science as evidenced by adviser-to-advisee transmission of patenting behavior. The authors demonstrate this in twostage models that account for the endogeneity of matching, using both inverse probability of treatment weights and an instrumental variables approach. They also draw on qualitative methods to support a causal interpretation. Overall, they present a theory and a triangulation of methods to establish evidence of social influence when tie formation is partially deliberate.

“…comme de nombreux auteurs l'ont montré pour les sciences dures (crane [1970] ; Long et al [1979] ; Reskin [1977Reskin [ ] et [1979 ; Allison et Long [1990], etc. ), Baldi [1995] conclut son étude du devenir des docteurs en sociologie entre 1985 et 1992 en montrant que le département d'origine explique mieux le succès à un premier poste que la performance scientifique des candidats.…”

En référence aux travaux qui éclairent la constitution des trajectoires des universitaires aux États-Unis, nous analysons les déterminants de l'accès au professorat des universités en France dans trois disciplines (histoire, physique, gestion BecominG FuLL PRoFeSSoR in FRencH univeRSiTieS: A comPARiSon oF THRee DiSciPLineS oveR THe PeRioD 1976-2007The main purpose of this paper is to analyse the determinants of promotions to professorship in the French academia in three disciplines: Management, History and Physics. Among these determinants, we focus on the impact of personal attributes (age and gender), scientific production and institutional characteristics. We also take into account differences between disciplines and cohorts. To reach that goal, we estimate mixed duration models based on an original dataset, which allows us to observe more than 800 professors. Our results conclude to both common and specific determinants of promotion in France, compared to those found in the us system.

“…Cherchye and Abeele 2005). Several studies show that moving to a more prestigious institution positively impacts individual research performance (Allison and Long 1990;Crane 1965;Keith and Babchuk 1998;Long 1978;Long et al 1979;Long and McGinnis 1981;Ramsden 1994;Reskin 1979). Additionally, within 3-6 years researchers conform to the context of the university, industry, or government sector to which they have moved, independent of initial productivity (Long and McGinnis 1981).…”

Bibliometric studies often measure and compare scholarly performance, but they rarely investigate why universities, departments, and research groups do have different performance. In this paper we try to explain differences in scholarly performance of research groups in terms of organizational variables. In order to do this, we extensively review the relevant literature, and develop a model using two theoretical approaches. A multivariate analysis shows which of the independent variables do play a role in the various scholarly performance dimensions. The study shows what organizational strategies may help in optimizing performance in various dimensions. Implications are discussed.
