July 2025, Paper: “Basic data within the life sciences has consequential implications for medication and subsequent medical improvements. Utilizing publications in main life science journals to measure elementary data, we doc giant agglomerations within the establishments the place it’s found and a strong correlation between data and subsequent citations in patents. We assess whether or not the establishment the place analysis is produced impacts the output of scientists by utilizing a scientist-mover design, which compares annual analysis output earlier than and after a transfer for a similar scientist. Between 50 − 60% of a scientist’s analysis output is attributable to the establishment the place they work, and two thirds of this impact is pushed by the presence of star researchers. The magnitude of those results has not decreased in newer time intervals, within the wake of applied sciences that make cross-institution collaborations simpler, neither is it bigger for strikes to bigger agglomerations, nor concentrated specifically scientific fields. We talk about the implications of those findings for analysis allocations in science and scientists’ leaving one establishment for an additional.”
