Trends for the number of total articles published by young CoS’s in 2003–2012.
Note. Data were presented as median (markers), 25 and 75 percentiles (error bar). The figure is drawn using MedCalc Statistical Software v. 12.7.5 (MedCalc Software bvba, Ostend, Belgium).
Figure 2.
Trends for the number of total articles published by young DoS’s in 2003–2012.
Note. Data were presented as median (markers), 25 and 75 percentiles (error bar). The figure is drawn using MedCalc Statistical Software v. 12.7.5 (MedCalc Software bvba, Ostend, Belgium).
Table 2.
The median number of total articles and their citations for awarded and rejected applicants before (2003–2007 years) and after (2008–2012 years) competitions.
Table 3.
Negative binomial regression models predicting the ex-post number of total articles and their citations for awarded applicants (vs. rejected applicants as reference group).

The time-related (2008–2012) probability of the doctoral dissertation defense by CoS applicants.
Figure 4.
The relationship (pre-post) between the number of total publications of awarded and rejected applicants: the results of seven (including Russian) quasi-experimental studies.
Note. The dotted line is the regression line for the row of values for the awarded group; the solid line is the regression line for the rejected group; the dashed line is the reference line (the number of total publication ex-ante and ex-post are equal). In the analysis of the number of total publications data from 12 competitions is used (including two Russian).
