Network Heterogeneity, Scientific Performance and Medical Innovation

• Research networks have particular social and economic resonance in the field of biomedical research. This study will investigate how biomedical research networks could better facilitate scientific and technological progress. Specifically, we focus on two dimensions of heterogeneity sources in a scientist’ research network and their relationship with scientific performance and medical innovation: heterogeneity of institutions where partners are embedded and heterogeneity of benefits that each network partner grants to the focal scientist. Besides, we explore the effects of translational skills and political skills of focal scientists on their participation in both output types.
