Oct 24, 2022 · Maria Leptin argues that frontier research is a non-rival, non-depreciating and high-return investment that benefits everyone. She explains how frontier research increases our understanding of the world, creates new combinations of knowledge and trains skilled workers.

With the beginning of WWI, the world split into the Allied (UK, France, later the US, and a number of smaller countries) and Central (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Ottoman Empire, Bulgaria) camps. The involvement of scientists in the war effort, in particular in the development of chemical weapons, and the extremely nationalistic stance taken by many i...
We show that WWI and the following boycott against Central scientists severely interrupted international scientific cooperation (Iaria et al. 2018). After the onset of WWI, papers cited relatively less research from outside the camp, compared to research from home (Figure 3, red solid line). Similarly, papers cited less research from foreign countr...
In the second part of our paper, we show that reduced international scientific cooperation led to a decline in the production of basic science and its application in new technology. We compare productivity changes for scientists who, in the pre-war period, relied on frontier research from abroad to changes for scientists who relied on frontier rese...
These results show that access to frontier research is key for the production of ideas, including path-breaking ones. Facilitating access to frontier research can therefore substantially increase the production of basic science. Access to the knowledge frontier needs to be interpreted in a broad sense – not only physical access to journal articles,...

How did the interruption of international scientific cooperation during and after WWI affect the creation of ideas and the development of new technologies? This column studies the decline in citations of frontier research from Central countries and its consequences for scientific progress and innovation.
Mar 26, 2018 · Excellence and frontier research have made inroads into European research policymaking and structure political agendas, funding programs and evaluation practices. The two concepts travelled a long way from the United States and have derived from contexts outside of science (and policy).
