Abstract This study provides the first systematic, international, large‐scale evidence on extent and nature of multiple institutional affiliations journal publications. Studying more than 15 million authors 22 articles from 40 countries we document that: In 2019, almost one in three was (co‐)authored by with share increased around 10% to 16% since 1996. The growth is prevalent all fields it stronger high impact journals. About 60% are between institutions within academic sector....
Formal collaboration between researchers via co-authorship has been shown to have a positive impact on academic productivity. But most is informal, e.g. in the form of commentary research papers. We present and discuss novel dataset informal Financial Economics obtained from acknowledgement sections over 5,000 published construct social network connecting authors commenters show that researcher’s position this predictive her future productivity scholarly papers she comments on. study...
We study academic consequences of non-academic misconduct for accused researchers at US universities. Focusing on allegations sexual misconduct, we find detrimental effects scientific impact, productivity and career. Other are less likely to cite the perpetrator's prior work after surface. The effect is absent in male-dominated fields weakens with distance co-authorship network, indicating that learn about via their peers. Although alleged perpetrators tend remain active researchers, they be...
We present a wrapper for the Scopus RESTful API written Python 3. The allows users to access database via user-friendly interfaces and can be used without prior knowledge of APIs. package provides classes interact with different APIs retrieve information as diverse citation counts, author or document abstracts. Files are cached speed up subsequent analysis. addresses all data, such researchers working in Science evaluators. It facilitates re-producibility research projects enhances data...
There was an immediate ad-hoc response of the international scientific community to help scholars from universities affected by Russia's war in Ukraine. Official government-backed funding programmes later allowed offers be sustainable and stable. The #ScienceForUkraine initiative is a grass-root that emerged out desire help; initially created as central database for worldwide help. Its 133 active volunteers engaged with policy-makers bodies improve support Ukrainian academic community.The...
Summary I undertake a narrow, wide, and long replication of Goyal, van der Leij Moraga‐Gonzélez (2006, https://doi.org/10.1086/500990 ). Using social network analysis, they show that the Economics profession gradually evolved into small world. Small worlds (or world networks) have unique information transmission capabilities. The trend is explained by emergence frequently publishing researchers with many distinct co‐authors. In network, resemble stars. original results are robust to usage...
When preparing a research article, academics engage in informal intellectual collaboration by asking their colleagues for feedback. This gives rise to social network between academics. We study whether with an academic who is more central this results article having higher scientific impact. To address the well-known reflection problem estimating effects, we use assignment of discussants at NBER summer institutes as quasi-natural experiment. show that manuscripts discussed discussant 10%...

Using two identification strategies, we show that the connectedness of a PhD adviser (in coauthor network) positively affects placement her student. First, demonstrate that, on average, more central advisers place their students at better ranked institutes. To do this, use changes in centrality adviser's coauthors year student as an exogenous shock to centrality. Our second strategy uses death faculty members probability being placed particular university reduces when 'social distance'...
We study the role of informal collaboration in academic knowledge production. Our focus is on published papers presented at similar workshops NBER Summer Institutes. Though not random, our setting conducive to studying Papers are comparable quality and otherwise similar. Even among a set that highly selected expected quality, discussants matter for top journal publication. Conditional having discussant, paper’s citation count increases discussant’s prolificness. findings support existence...
We study the effects of discussants on academic success papers they discuss. Our sample consists presented at Finance-related NBER Summer Institutes between 2001 and 2010, which about two thirds resulted in journal publication until 2019. The average time to is 3.4 years since presentation. Though not random, are assigned exogenously from authors' perspective provide a quasi-experimental setup. also do observe assortative matching observables. Comparing articles with without this set...
In this major new book leading sociologists, economists, and social psychologists present their highly original research into changes in jobs Britain the 1980s. Combining large-scale sample surveys, personal life-histories, case studies of towns, employers, worker groups, findings give clear often surprising answers to questions debated by economic observers all advanced countries. Does technolgoy destroy skills or rebuild them? how does skill affect attitudes employees managers towards...
