Young Chinese scientists recruited back to China through a government talent program went on to publish more scientific papers than their counterparts who remained overseas, a new analysis finds.
The YTT program, in contrast, requires scientists to work in China on a full-time basis, which reduces concerns about conflicts of interest and intellectual property compliance, Wang says.Wang and his colleagues studied 339 young Chinese scientists who accepted YTT offers and returned to China, and 73 who rejected the offers.
The number of annual publications from the researchers in the five years before they returned to China was also analyzed, and by that metric, the group that accepted the YTT grants was in the top 15% of all early-career scientists in the U.S. with Chinese surnames, the authors reported.
They published 27% more papers — and more papers in high-impact journals — and were more likely to be the last authors, an indication they led the research as principal investigators of their own teams.
