论文摘要

学术生涯的第一步,也许是其支柱,是在博士顾问的监督下完成博士学位。虽然先前的工作检查了顾问 - 阿德维西人的关系及其对顾问的潜在学术成功的潜在影响,但在咨询毕业后,可能继续持续的关系知之甚少。我们利用三个家谱和科学计量数据集来识别3个不同的计算机科学家组:高度独立,他们在毕业后立即与顾问(几乎)停止合作;中度独立,他(迅速)将协作率降低了约5年;和弱独立的人在毕业后至少十年继续与顾问合作。我们发现,就H索引,i10索引和整个职业的引用总数而言,高度独立的研究人员在学术上比同龄人更成功。中等独立的研究人员平均表现要比弱独立的研究人员表现更好,但是差异并未具有统计学意义。此外,发现高度和中度独立的研究人员的学术职业更长。有趣的是,弱独立的研究人员倾向于受到更多学术上成功的顾问的监督。

One of the first steps in an academic career, and perhaps the pillar thereof, is completing a PhD under the supervision of a doctoral advisor. While prior work has examined the advisor-advisee relationship and its potential effects on the prospective academic success of the advisee, very little is known on the possibly continued relationship after the advisee has graduated. We harnessed three genealogical and scientometric datasets to identify 3 distinct groups of computer scientists: Highly independent, who cease collaborating with their advisors (almost) instantly upon graduation; Moderately independent, who (quickly) reduce the collaboration rate over ~5 years; and Weakly independent who continue collaborating with their advisors for at least 10 years post-graduation. We find that highly independent researchers are more academically successful than their peers in terms of H-index, i10-index and total number of citations throughout their careers. Moderately independent researchers perform, on average, better than weakly independent researchers, yet the differences are not found to be statistically significant. In addition, both highly and moderately independent researchers are found to have longer academic careers. Interestingly, weakly independent researchers tend to be supervised by more academically successful advisors.
