El líder de un grupo de investigación

En el blog Francis (th)E mule Science’s News (por cierto, excelente blog y que os recomiendo)  se ha publicado un comentario sobre la importancia que tiene el líder sobre la producción científica y financiación. El post, titulado La importancia de la firma de un ‘pope’ se hace eco de un estudio publicado en The Quaterly Journal of Economics, dónde se estudian 112 casos, analizando el efecto que la muerte inesperada del líder del grupo sobre la producción científica del mismo.

¿Pasaría lo mismo en España (aunque no tengamos ‘popes’ y solo ‘cardinals’).

A continuación incluyo el resumen del artículo.

We estimate the magnitude of spillovers generated by 112 academic “superstars” who died prematurely and unexpectedly, thus providing an exogenous source of variation in the structure of their collaborators’ coauthorship networks. Following the death of a superstar, we find that collaborators experience, on average, a lasting 5% to 8% decline in their quality-adjusted publication rates. By exploring interactions of the treatment effect with a variety of star, coauthor, and star/coauthor dyad characteristics, we seek to adjudicate between plausible mechanisms that might explain this finding. Taken together, our results suggest that spillovers are circumscribed in idea space, but less so in physical or social space. In particular, superstar extinction reveals the boundaries of the scientific field to which the star contributes—the “invisible college.”

  1. Came across this looking for something else entirely and ended up reading it through twice, and a look at brickbase pulled me deeper into the site than I planned, the writing has a way of holding attention without resorting to manipulative cliffhangers or vague promises that never get delivered later down the page.

  2. Speaking carefully because I do not want to overstate things this site is genuinely above average across multiple measurements, and a stop at resellinga continued the above average performance, the calibration of judgement against potential overstatement is something I take seriously and this site clears the higher bar even after that calibration applies.

  3. Здорова, народ Ситуация критическая Соседи стучат в стену Нужна профессиональная помощь Короче, только стационар реально спас — вывод из запоя в стационаре наркологии с палатой Выписали через 5 дней без ломки В общем, не потеряйте контакты — запой стационар анонимно https://vyvod-iz-zapoya-v-staczionare-nizhnij-novgorod-jkp.ru Звоните прямо сейчас Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  4. Honestly this was the highlight of my reading queue today, and a look at validpath extended that across more pages I will return to, ranking what I read against what else I read each day is something I do informally and this site keeps moving up in those rankings the more I explore it.

  5. Appreciated that the writer trusted the reader to follow along without constant restating of earlier points, and a look at fastfield continued that respect for the reader, treating an audience as capable adults rather than as people to be hand held through every paragraph is something I notice and value highly across the open internet today.

  6. Picked up two new ideas that I expect will come up in conversations this week, and a look at vegaterbaik added another, content that arms me with talking points rather than just filling time is the kind that provides ongoing value beyond the moment of reading and this site is generating that kind of ongoing value.

  7. Decided not to skim despite my usual habit and was rewarded for the discipline, and a stop at focuscreatesmomentum earned the same patient approach, training myself to recognise sites that warrant slower reading is part of being a careful online reader and this site is the kind that helps me practice that skill regularly.

  8. Now thinking about this site as a small example of what good independent writing looks like, and a stop at dylanbeltran continued that exemplary status, the few sites that serve as good examples are sites worth holding up in conversations about quality and this one has earned that exemplary placement through patient consistent effort over time.

  9. Reading this post made me realise I had been settling for lower quality elsewhere, and a look at opsorder extended that recalibration, content that exposes how much I had been accepting in adjacent sources is content with calibrating effect on my standards and this site is performing that calibration function across topics for me reliably.

  10. Decided to subscribe to the RSS feed if there is one, and a stop at directionenergizesprogress confirmed that decision, content that I want delivered to me proactively rather than just remembered when I have time is content that has earned a higher level of commitment from me as a reader looking for reliable sources.

  11. Closed three other tabs to focus on this one and never opened them again, and a stop at blog33candidate similarly held attention exclusively, content that crowds out other reading from working memory is content with real density and this site has demonstrated that density across multiple pages I have visited so far this morning.

  12. Honestly impressed by the consistency of voice across what I have read so far, and a quick visit to signalactivatesdirection continued that consistent feel, when a site reads like one careful person rather than a committee the experience is more rewarding for the reader who notices these subtle editorial details over time.

  13. Started this morning and finished at lunch with a small sense of having spent the time well, and a look at ideasdriveforward extended that satisfaction into the afternoon, content that fits naturally into the rhythm of a working day rather than demanding a dedicated reading block is increasingly the kind I prefer.

  14. Comfortable read, finished it without realising how much time had passed, and a look at growthmovesclean pulled me into more pages the same way, the absence of friction in good content lets time disappear and that is one of the highest compliments I can pay any piece of writing I find online during a regular search session.

  15. Closed it feeling slightly more competent in the topic than I started, and a stop at growthmoveswithsignal reinforced that competence boost, real learning is rare in casual online reading but it does happen sometimes and this site managed to make it happen for me today which is genuinely worth pausing to acknowledge.

  16. Liked that the post acknowledged complications rather than pretending they did not exist, and a stop at focusdrivenclarity continued that honest framing, sites that handle complexity with care rather than papering it over with simplifying claims are doing real intellectual work and this one is clearly in that category based on what I have read.

  17. Honestly impressed, did not expect to find this level of care on the topic, and a stop at focussetsdirection cemented the impression, you can tell within the first few paragraphs whether a site is going to be worth the time and this one delivered on that early promise nicely throughout the rest of what I read.

  18. Picked a friend mentally as the audience for this and decided to send the link, and a look at growthalignsforward confirmed the send was the right choice, choosing whom to share content with is a small act of curation that I take more seriously than the public sharing most platforms encourage these days online.

  19. Now noticing the careful balance the post struck between confidence and humility, and a stop at forwardmotionclarity maintained the same balance, finding the line between asserting and admitting is hard and this site has clearly developed the calibration to walk that line consistently which produces a more persuasive reading experience for me.

  20. Glad the writer did not feel the need to argue with imaginary critics in the post itself, and a stop at sableengine kept the same focused approach going, defensive writing wastes the reader time and confidence on positions that did not need defending and this post has clearly avoided that common failure.

  21. Reading this prompted me to subscribe to my first newsletter in months, and a stop at zappyzen confirmed the subscribe was the right call, content that earns a newsletter signup is content that has cleared a higher trust bar than a casual visit and this site has clearly earned that level of commitment from me.

  22. Most of the time I bounce off similar pages within seconds, and a stop at actionmovesstrategy held me longer than I would have predicted, the ability to convert a likely bouncing visitor into an engaged reader is a quality signal and this site has demonstrated that conversion ability across multiple visits where I expected to bounce.

  23. Worth recognising that the post handled a familiar topic without reaching for any of the obvious hot takes, and a stop at growthflowswithfocus continued that fresh treatment, sites that find new angles on subjects others have exhausted are sites worth following carefully and this one has clearly developed that exploratory instinct through patient practice.

  24. Reading this between meetings turned out to be the most useful thing I did all afternoon, and a stop at ideascreatepathways kept that productivity feeling going, content can sometimes outperform actual work in terms of what gets accomplished mentally and this site managed that today which is genuinely a high bar to clear consistently.

  25. Picked something concrete from the post that I will use immediately, and a look at actionfuelsmomentum added another concrete piece, content that produces immediately useful output rather than just abstract appreciation is content that earns its place in my regular rotation without needing any further evaluation from me at this point honestly.

  26. Looking forward to seeing what gets published next month, and a look at actionguidesmotion extended that anticipation across the broader site, finding myself looking forward to a sites future content rather than just consuming its existing content is a stronger commitment level than I usually reach with new finds and this site triggered that.

  27. Reading this gave me a small mental break from the heavier reading I had been doing, and a stop at progressflowsforward extended that lighter feel, content that provides relief without becoming trivial is harder to produce than people realise and this site has clearly figured out how to be light without being shallow at all.

  28. Привет из Черноземья Жесть после вчерашнего Рассол уже не лезет Короче, нашел реально работающий способ — капельница от похмелья быстрый результат Через час состояние нормализовалось В общем, вся инфа по ссылке — прокапаться https://kapelnicza-ot-pokhmelya-voronezh-mnb.ru Капельница — это быстро и эффективно Перешлите тем кто в такой же ситуации

  29. Felt the post had been written without using a single buzzword, and a look at ideasmovewithpurpose continued that clean vocabulary, content free of jargon and trendy phrases reads better and ages better and this site has clearly committed to a vocabulary that will not feel dated in three years which is impressive editorially.

  30. Following a few of the internal links revealed more posts of similar quality, and a stop at tacthaven added more to that growing pile, sites where internal links lead to more good content rather than to more of the same recycled material are sites with depth and this one has clearly built that depth carefully.

  31. My professional context would benefit from having this kind of resource available, and a look at directionactivatesgrowth extended the professional applicability, the rare site that contributes meaningfully to professional work rather than just personal interest is content with multiplied value and this one is providing that professional utility consistently across multiple pieces.

  32. Genuinely well crafted writing, the kind that makes the topic look easier than it actually is, and a look at directionclarifiesmotion added even more depth, you can feel the experience behind every line which is something only writers who have been at this for a while can pull off with this level of grace.

  33. Approaching this site through a casual link click and being surprised by what I found, and a look at growthunlockedforward extended the surprise, the rare experience of stumbling into excellent independent content rather than predictable mediocrity is one of the actual remaining pleasures of casual web browsing and this site provided it cleanly.

  34. Found this via a link from another piece I was reading and the click was worth it, and a stop at claritypowersaction extended the value across more material, the open web still rewards clicking through citations when the underlying writers care about each other work and this site clearly belongs to that network.

  35. Once you start reading carefully here it is hard to go back to lower quality alternatives, and a stop at clarityopenspathways reinforced that ratchet effect, the way good content raises standards is real over time and this site has clearly contributed to raising my expectations for what is possible in writing on the topic generally.

  36. Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at actioncreatesvelocity kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.

  37. Generally my attention drifts on long posts but this one held it through the end, and a stop at blog44us earned the same sustained focus, content that defeats my drift tendency is content with substantive pulling power and this site has demonstrated that pulling power across multiple pieces in a session that has now run quite long actually.

  38. Picked this for a morning recommendation in our company chat, and a look at directioncreatesvelocity suggested I will mention this site again later, recommending content into a workplace context is a small editorial act that requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those recommendations consistently here too.

  39. Worth recognising that the post did not pretend to be the final word on the topic, and a stop at actioncreatespath continued that humility, content that admits its own scope and limits is more trustworthy than content that overreaches and this site has clearly developed the editorial maturity to know what it can and cannot claim well.

  40. Thanks for the honest framing without exaggerated claims that the topic will change my life, and a stop at claritycreatesmomentum kept the same modest tone, restraint in marketing language signals trustworthiness and the writers here are clearly playing the long game by building credibility rather than chasing immediate clicks through hyperbole.

  41. Now planning to share the link with a small group of readers I trust, and a look at tracereach suggested more material to share with the same group, recommending content into a curated circle requires confidence in the recommendation and this site is making me confident in those personal recommendations on multiple separate occasions now.

  42. Ended up here on a wandering afternoon and was glad I stayed for the read, and a stop at clarityguidesmoves extended the wandering into a proper exploration of the site, the kind of place that rewards aimless clicking with something genuinely interesting rather than the shallow content that mostly populates the modern open web.

  43. Approaching this with the usual skepticism I bring to new sites and being slowly persuaded, and a stop at blog44trouble continued that gradual persuasion, the careful path from skeptical reader to genuine fan is the only one I trust and this site has walked me along that path through patient consistent quality across pieces.

  44. Felt the writer was speaking my language without trying to imitate it, and a look at growthflowsforward continued that natural fit, when a writers default voice happens to match what you find easy to read the experience feels frictionless and that is something I notice and remember about specific sites going forward.

  45. Now adding this site to a small mental group of recommendations I keep ready for specific kinds of inquiries, and a stop at actionmovesforward extended the recommendation readiness, content that I can confidently point friends and colleagues toward in specific contexts is content with real social utility and this site has that utility clearly.

  46. Thanks for a post that does not try to be funny when it is not the moment for it, and a stop at actionguidesmovement maintained the same appropriate seriousness, knowing when humour helps and when it just signals desperation for engagement is a sign of editorial maturity that many blogs have not developed yet.

  47. Felt a small spark of recognition when the post named something I had been struggling to articulate, and a look at blog33page produced more such moments, the rare service of giving readers language for fuzzy intuitions is one of the higher values that good writing can provide and this site offered several today instances.

  48. Worth pointing out that the post avoided the temptation to summarise everything at the end, and a look at ideasfindmomentum continued that confident closing approach, content that trusts readers to retain the substance without being reminded of it at the end is content that respects the reader and this site practices that respect.

  49. Generally I do not leave comments but this post merits a small note, and a stop at focusbuildspathways extended that comment worthy quality, the urge to actively contribute to a sites community rather than passively consume from it is something specific content provokes and this site has provoked that engagement urge from me today.

  50. Now noticing the post fit a particular gap in my reading without my having articulated the gap before, and a look at progressmoveswithintent extended that gap filling effect, content that meets needs I had not consciously formulated is content with reader insight and this site has clearly developed that anticipatory editorial sense across many pieces.
