Few words on why #ScienceOfScience is not an emerging field.
One of the reasons that #ScienceOfScience was born in Poland in the 1910s was due to the need to build from scratch a higher education system after 123 years of occupation by Russia, Prussia, and Austria. 1/9

Poland was the first country in the world to establish a separate governmental unit in 1918 for the development of science and the humanities, known as the Division for Science and Higher Education within the Ministry of Religious Denominations and Public Enlightenment. 2/9
Since its inception, #ScienceOfScience has adopted a dual approach: philosophical (knowledge production) and pragmatic (organization of the science sector and research). 3/9
Thrilled and proud that @PNASNews published our study Today: The Diversity-Innovation Paradox in Science. Find it here: pnas.org/content/early/…. GitHub: github.com/bhofstra/diver…. Short primer: bashofstra.com/diversity-inno…. 1/n
Study by myself, @viveksck, Sebastian Munoz-Najar Galvez, Bryan He, @jurafsky, &Dan McFarland. We study the diversity-innovation paradox: Diversity breeds innovation, yet underrepresented groups that diversify organizations have less successful careers within them. 2/n
Does the diversity-innovation paradox hold for scientists as well? To answer this question, we use text analysis and machine learning as well as US census and dissertations of more than 1.2 million recipients of doctoral degrees from 1977 to 2015. 3/n
1\Really excited to share our latest paper, out today in @NatureComms! It's joint work with @WeihuaLi11, @TomasoAste, Fabio Caccioli at @uclfincomp @uclcs.

Let's see what we did #ScienceOfScience

2\We analysed the careers of 22K scientists in 4 disciplines, and showed that coauthoring at least *one* paper with a top-cited scientist during the first 3 career years leads to a long-term competitive advantage with respect to peers.
3/This effect is not equally strong across the cohort though. Junior researchers (JRs) who are affiliated with top institutions and/or who are highly productive are already on the pathway to long-term career impact with high probability, regardless of their coauthors.

Five years in the making. Accompanied by my essay in @HarvardBiz: hbr.org/2019/07/how-ne…
Findings may be relevant to a range of scholars, CSS, diffusion, #ScienceOfScience thread [1/n]

Diffusion processes impact broad aspects of human society. our knowledge is mainly limited to spreading in non-substitutive systems. Yet, many ideas, products and behaviors spread by substitution-to adopt a new one, agents often need to give up an existing one 2/
We find that, in substitutive systems, ranging from phones, cars, apps, and scientific fields, their early spreading patterns are characterized by power law scaling with non-integer exponents, in contrast to exponential growth customary in such processes. 3/
