Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how the length of time that individuals contribute to scientific and technological advancements can indicate the overall rate of progress within a particular field. This is achieved by studying data from the scientific and patent literature to analyze the contribution spans of researchers in two distinct chemical fields. The book employs survival statistics to determine the probability of a researcher continuing to contribute to a field for a specified period and the likelihood of them ceasing their contributions in the future. It also assesses the impact of various factors, such as an individual's productivity, organizational affiliation, and the size and maturity of the field, on the duration of their contributions. Through these analyses, the book provides insights into the relationship between researcher behavior and the pace of technological progress, suggesting that examining contribution spans can serve as a valuable tool for understanding the dynamics of innovation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…
