Do interests affect grant application success? The role of organizational proximity
Charlie Mom, Peter van den Besselaar
Bias in grant allocation is a critical issue, as the expectation is that grants are given to the best researchers, and not to applicants that are socially, organizationally, or top…
Does Quantity Make a Difference? The importance of publishing many papers
Peter van den Besselaar, Ulf Sandstrom
Do highly productive researchers have significantly higher probability to produce top cited papers? Or does the increased productivity in science only result in a sea of irrelevant…
Scientometrics and Communication Theory: Towards Theoretically Informed Indicators
Loet Leydesdorff, Peter Van den Besselaar
A theory of citations should not consider cited and/or citing agents as its sole subject of study. One is able to study also the dynamics in the networks of communications. While c…
Competing Technologies: Disturbance, Selection, and the Possibilities of Lock-in
Loet Leydesdorff, Peter Van den Besselaar
Arthur's (1988) model for competing technologies is discussed from the perspective of evolution theory. Using Arthur's own model for the simulation, we show that 'lock-ins' can be…
Distributed scientific communication in the European information society: Some cases of "Mode 2" fields of research
Gaston Heimeriks, Loet Leydesdorff, Peter Van den Besselaar
Can self-organization of scientific communication be specified by using literature-based indicators? In this study, we explore this question by applying entropy measures to typical…
Technological Developments and Factor Substitution in a Complex and Dynamic System
Loet Leydesdorff, Peter Van den Besselaar
Schumpeter's (1939) distinction between changes in the form of the production function corresponding to innovation, and shifts along the production function corresponding to factor…
A Meta-evaluation of Scientific Research Proposals: Different Ways of Comparing Rejected to Awarded Applications
Lutz Bornmann, Loet Leydesdorff, Peter van den Besselaar
Combining different data sets with information on grant and fellowship applications submitted to two renowned funding agencies, we are able to compare their funding decisions (awar…
Past Performance as Predictor of Successful Grant Applications: A Case Study
Peter van den Besselaar, Loet Leydesdorff
Competitive allocation of research funding is a major mechanism within the science system. It is fundamentally based on the idea of peer review. Peer review is central in project s…
