The premise of this program is that it is possible to look at structure and understand the potential for performances. When the aggregate constrains of a group is low the person individual has many advantages in terms of connectedness and the reputation that goes along with it especially in smaller groups. In the French Cancer research arena there are only 165 researchers. The metric of analysis (Impact Factor) was the number of published articles, reviewed manuscripts and presentations. Interviews asked whom you asked for advice and who asked you for advice.
The most telling metric was when the researcher combined the in and out ties based on recruitment and research conversations. When the aggregate Scarce resources was higher than 40% (you were doing a good amount of recruiting and research connections) you were in a good position to succeed in producing papers and presentation. Moreover depending on the size of your research clique and your access to scarce resources there is a graph that plotted your success growth.
