Age and Scientific Productivity. Differences between Fields of Learning.

Kyvik, Svein

Higher Education, v19 n1 p37-55 1990

A study of Norwegian researchers revealed substantially different patterns in age and research productivity in the social sciences, humanities, medicine, and natural sciences. It is suggested that discrepancies arise from differences in the development of scientific disciplines, particularly the speed of knowledge production and technological advancement. (Author/MSE)
