These results are perhaps not surprising in light of the broader literature on R&D productivity that points to two factors as instrumental in driving higher R&D productivity (depth of scientific information, and objectivity of decision-making based on that information), both of which could be expected to increase because of a merger.
This discrepancy likely reflects the finite productivity lifecycle of scientific careers, which is not accounted for in models predicting scale-free Pareto distributions.
In fact, both efficiency and productivity of modern scientific research in chemistry depend rigorously on quality and completeness of its information support, which is oriented firstly on advanced and flexible reference search, discovering and analysing of text information to afford the most relevant answers to user questions (substances, reactions, relevant patents or journal articles).
It is useful for the assessment of both productivity and quality of scientific output.
These criteria try to measure, among other things, academic productivity (including quantity and quality of scientific production), number of classes given by teachers, time to complete the courses and so on.
However, the effect of consulting on the scientific productivity of academic scientists depends on the scientific fields and the intensity of engagement in consulting activities.
One called "On Inhibition of Scientific Productivity in Psychoanalysts" by Dr. Peter A. Martin of Detroit.
Saudi Arabia topped the second position in terms of scientific productivity at Arab world level.
So in 2005, he invented the h-index, an easy-to-employ, objective measure of scientific productivity and impact.
The geography of Sci-Hub usage generally looks like a map of scientific productivity, but with some of the richer and poorer science-focused nations flipped.
