The geography of academic careers and formations of scientific collaborations: A case study looking at mathematics - 2016.
20
This paper deals with the relationship between the geography of academic careers and those of collaborations, using a case study of a French mathematics laboratory. Analyzing CVs, publications, and interviews with ten professors makes it possible to question both the progress of academic careers and the collaborative practices of scientific activity through co-authorship. The scientific community of mathematics has specific norms and conventions at both levels of mobility practice and collaboration behavior. The collective decision to tacitly ban local recruitment generates a high level of mobility in mathematicians’ careers. Furthermore, the publication rhythm and the weight of collaborations are very heterogeneous, and their geography does not seem to depend on the geographical trajectories of professors. A qualitative focus on the most productive professor shows the very low influence of affiliation and of permanent location on research.
