Fig. 2From: Scientific rewards for biomedical specialization are large and persistentWorkflow for calculating the specialization measure. First a researcher’s career is broken into 3-year windows. Publications are extracted for each window. From those publications, the Medical Subject Headings counts extracted, then the revealed comparative advantage calculated for each. Finally, each RCA is transformed into a z-score, and the 90th of the researcher’s z-score is that researcher’s extent of specialization in that window (\(\text{spec}_{i,w}\))Back to article page
