Continued collaboration shortens the transition period of scientists who move to another institution
Scientific collaboration plays a significant role in scientists’ research performance. When scientists move from one institution to another and leave the team they belong to or lead, they may continue collaborating with the former team because engaging in or building a new team takes time.

description | Scientific collaboration plays a significant role in scientists’ research performance. When scientists move from one institution to another and leave the team they belong to or lead, they may continue collaborating with the former team because engaging in or building a new team takes time. In this study, we collected data from the Open Researcher and Contributor ID (ORCID) website on 2,922 scientists who published first-tier journal papers defined by the Chinese Academy of Science (CAS) before they moved to a new institution. By applying a Poisson regression model to the dataset, we explored the correlation between continued collaboration and the transition period after scientists moved, which is defined as the time span between the year of the move and the year when they published their first top-tier journal paper after moving. Our findings indicated that: (1) continued collaboration significantly shortens the transition period by 27.2%; (2) continued collaboration significantly shortens the transition period of senior scientists to a larger extent than that of junior scientists; (3) continued collaboration significantly shortens the transition period of social scientists to a larger extent than that of natural scientists; (4) the transition period is shorter after moves for scientists with higher inherent potential; and (5) there is no evidence that the transition period is associated with culture-related differences between the origin country and the destination country after the move, or whether they had lived in the destination country before. |
