The geographical pathways,regional functions,and influencing factors of leading scientists growth
The growth and cultivation of leading scientific talent has become a hot topic for the government and academia.However,previous research has focused on education and management issues in the process of talent growth,while the geographical factors and processes influencing talent growth have been overlooked and neglected.Based on the education and work resumes of Nobel laureates in science,this paper systematically deconstructs the geographical pathways,regional functions,and influencing factors involved in the growth of leading scientists from 1901 to 2022.The main conclusions can be drawn as follows:(1)The geographical pathways of the growth of leading scientists has a significant institutional community effect,and achieving scientific breakthroughs is highly dependent on a few research institutions.(2)In the education stage,the educational centers where leading scientists grow up exhibit a significant phenomenon of succession,showing a wide range of sources and the highly degree of aggregation of inflows.And the United States,Germany and the United Kingdom account for 78.3%of the volume of leading scientists mobility in the education stage.(3)In the work stage,the geographical pathways of the growth of leading scientists has further narrowed,and there is a clear geographical transfer in the scientific centers where leading scientists work.The United States has become the largest"magnet country",accounting for 53.7%of the volume of leading scientists mobility in this stage.(4)During the growth process of leading scientists,regional functions are divided into six types:birth,education,promotion,birth and education,education and promotion,and omnipotent.After World War II,only the United States has developed into omnipotent type.(5)The influence mechanism of the mobility of leading scientists has its generality and particularity.Language has been widely proven to play an important role in the cross-border flow of the general population,but its impact on the migration of leading scientists is not significant.The proximity of social systems,political environment,and higher education are important factors for leading scientists to consider in their migration.However,the scientific development level of destinations does not significantly affect the mobility of leading scientists in turbulent times.
