Changing demographics of scientific careers: The rise of the temporary workforce

December 21, 2018

Contemporary science has been characterized by an exponential growth in publications and a rise of team science.

In such a competitive environment, an important measure of academic success is the ability to maintain a long active career in science. In this paper, we study workforce trends in three scientific disciplines over half a century. We find dramatic shortening of careers of scientists across all three...
