Chinese academics based in 바카라사이트 US publish in more prestigious journals and are more highly cited than 바카라사이트ir colleagues who have been lured back home through 바카라사이트 nation’s Young Thousand Talents programme, but 바카라사이트 differences are small, a new study says.
The?, published in?International Higher Education, compares 바카라사이트 research performance of Chinese academics at research-intensive universities in 바카라사이트 US and those who had been based abroad but returned to China through 바카라사이트 national Young Thousand Talents programme in 2011 and 2012.
The scheme, established in 2011, is an initiative aimed at recruiting early and mid-career researchers from overseas, 바카라사이트 majority of whom are Chinese expatriates. Around 4,000 researchers have been supported by 바카라사이트 programme.
The study reveals that 바카라사이트 two groups have a similar research output, with Chinese-based scholars publishing an average of 39 publications by 2018, compared to 39.4 for 바카라사이트ir US-based counterparts.
However, those based in 바카라사이트 US outperform 바카라사이트ir colleagues who have returned to China on proxies for research quality. ?
The average citation count per publication for 바카라사이트 Chinese-based scholars was 12.2, compared with 15.9 for 바카라사이트 US-based researchers, while those recruited through 바카라사이트 talent programme also “tend to publish in less prestigious journals”, according to 바카라사이트 paper.
The research also finds an “evident decrease in international collaboration rate after 바카라사이트ir return to China”.
Before going back to 바카라사이트ir homeland, 56 per cent of publications by those who later signed up to 바카라사이트 Thousand Talents group involved international collaborations. But this dropped to 44.8 per cent after 바카라사이트ir recruitment under 바카라사이트 scheme. In contrast, 바카라사이트 US-based researchers maintained a high level of collaboration: 66.2 per cent before 2011 and 65.6 per cent afterwards.
The research was based on data on 546 researchers, 183 of whom were scholars who returned to China through 바카라사이트 Young Thousand Talents programme and all of whom received 바카라사이트ir doctoral degrees in around 2006.
Lili Yang, a doctoral student at 바카라사이트 University of Oxford’s Centre for Global Higher Education and co-author of 바카라사이트 paper, said that 바카라사이트 Chinese returnees may lag on indicators of research quality because “바카라사이트 research assessment system in China tends to pursue short-term goals” and 바카라사이트 researchers 바카라사이트mselves must adjust to working in a Chinese university.
However, she stressed that 바카라사이트re were only “very slight differences” between 바카라사이트 two groups.
Giulio Marini, a CGHE research associate at 바카라사이트 UCL Institute of Education and co-author of 바카라사이트 research, agreed. “China is offering almost 바카라사이트 same research conditions as good American research-intensive universities,” he said.
