Participation in university-based research centers: Is it helping or hurting researchers?

Non-tenured post-doctoral researchers’ job mobility and research output: An analysis of the role of research discipline, department size, and coauthors

“…Determinants considered include age (see Goodwin and Sauer, 1995;Rauber and Ursprung, 2008), gender (see Davis and Patterson, 2001;Fabel et al, 2008), nationality (Mamiseishvili and Rosser, 2010); field of study (see Davis and Patterson, 2001), coauthorships (see Davis and Patterson, 2001;Hollis, 2001), conference attendance (see Prpić, 2000;, participation in PhD programs (see Austin, 2002;Bowen and Ruenstine, 1992;Sadowski et al, 2010;Schneider, 2010), participation in mentoring programs (see Gardiner et al, 2007;Muschallik and Pull, 2015), affiliation with research centers (Sabharwal and Hu, 2013), reputation and quality of department or university (see Allison and Long, 1990;Bedeian et al, 2010;Crane, 1965Crane, , 1970Long, 1978;Long and McGinnis, 1981;Long et al, 1998), department size (see Fabel et al, 2008;Golden and Carstensen, 1992;Turner and Mairesse, 2003), publication output of academic advisor (see Hilmer and Hilmer, 2007;Reskin, 1979;Williamson and Cable, 2003), and teaching load and service tasks (see Taylor et al, 2006). Some papers study the effect of mobility across countries on research productivity (e.g.…”

Perceived incentives to transdisciplinarity in a Japanese university research center

“…Perceptions of the advantages of TDR for career advancement grow according to academic ranking: senior scholars have the most favorable view of TDR, together with graduate students, who, however, seem to be aware of its possible long-term drawbacks (Rhoten & Parker, 2004). Research has found that junior scholars who defend an interdisciplinary doctoral dissertation are disadvantaged in achieving tenure (Millar, 2013), and affiliation with problem-oriented university research centers has been found to be more beneficial to senior faculty (Sabharwal & Hu, 2013;Bunton & Mallon, 2007), though one study (Ponomariov & Boardman, 2010) finds that junior scientists experience greater gains in productivity after affiliation.…”

Student's Perception and Expectation towards the Creation and Implementation of a Technology Management Laboratory at the Metropolitan Technology Institute MTI

“…On the other hand, other studies have found that these centers inspire better results among the academic members by increasing the productivity of publications, industry associations, collaboration, network creation and technology exchange (Sabharwal and Hu, 2013).…”

“…These centers enable teachers to develop even more their research programs within the college structure considering space, resources, and also additional financial opportunities. Besides, research centers could help institutions to attract more quality graduate students and improve under graduate student quality education in general (Sabharwal and Hu, 2013).…”
