This research looks at whether the collaborative context affects scientific outcomes differently for scientists in different categories, focusing on the generalizability of network theories. Understanding the reasons for disproportionate representation in top positions and different career development patterns is important because science is increasingly a team-based enterprise. Theories about how scientists collaborate often assume that everyone benefits equally from their connections with others, but knowledge production is influenced by status and identity in interactive contexts. This research adds to our understanding of how knowledge is created and shared in global collaborative science communities. It also tackles important issues related to the ongoing efforts to increase participation in STEM fields. This research adopts a network analytic approach using a large-scale bibliographic database. This database is a comprehensive source for citation information that allows for the construction of unbounded co-authorship networks that include intra- and inter-disciplinary co-authorship ties across time and on a global scale. In a set of three inquiries, the researchers examine differences in benefit from resource-rich collaborative ties, through cumulative advantage, and from tendencies toward homophily (status) in collaborative activity over time and during the peak COVID-19 pandemic period. The project also tackles an unresolved puzzle regarding the innovative value of research specialization alongside collaborative brokerage and the interaction effects of specialization and brokerage on innovation and the generation of “good ideas”. This work has implications not only for scholars of science, but also for the development of science and innovation policy that seeks to bolster the engagement of all scientists in the production of science knowledge and the development of new innovations. Sustaining the career development and collaborative relations of a talented and diverse workforce has implications not only for equitable outcomes in science, but also for national and international economic and social prosperity.The project is co-funded by the Science of Science: Discovery, Communications, and Impact program, the Human Networks and Data Science research program, and the Science of Broadening Participation program.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

这项研究探讨了协作环境是否对不同类别的科学家的科学成果影响是否有所不同，重点是网络理论的普遍性。了解在最高职位和不同职业发展模式中表现不成比例的原因很重要，因为科学越来越多地基于团队的企业。关于科学家如何合作的理论通常认为每个人都从与他人的联系中平等地受益，但是知识生产受到互动环境中的地位和身份的影响。这项研究增加了我们对在全球协作科学社区中如何创建和共享知识的理解。它还解决了与正在进行的增加参与STEM领域的努力有关的重要问题。这项研究采用了使用大型书目数据库的网络分析方法。该数据库是引用信息的综合来源，它允许构建无限的共同授权网络，其中包括跨时间和全球范围内的跨学科和跨学科的共同授权联系。在一组三个询问中，研究人员通过累积优势以及在协作活动中以及在Covid-19-19-19-19-19-19大流行期间的合作活动中对资源丰富的协作关系的收益差异。该项目还解决了关于研究专业的创新价值以及协作经纪的创新价值以及专业和经纪对创新以及“好主意”产生的互动效果的尚未解决的难题。这项工作不仅对科学学者有影响，而且对发展科学和创新政策的制定，旨在加强所有科学家在科学知识生产和新创新的发展方面的参与。维持才华横溢和潜水员的劳动力的职业发展和合作关系不仅对公平的成果，而且还对国家和国际经济和社会繁荣也有影响。该项目由科学的科学科学共同提供：发现，传播和影响计划，发现，沟通和影响力计划，人类网络和人类网络和数据科学计划，以及通过宽广的参与计划的依据，并反映了NESF的基础。智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
