Extended Data Fig. 5: Contribution of field, year, and author effects.
From: Papers and patents are becoming less disruptive over time
This figure shows the relative contribution of field, year, and author fixed effects to the adjusted R2 in regression models predicting CD5. The top bar shows the results for papers (n = 80,607,091 paper × author observations); the bottom bar shows the results for patents (n = 8,319,826 patent × inventor observations). The results suggest that for both papers and patents, stable characteristics of authors contribute significantly to patterns of disruptiveness. Moreover, relatively little of the variation is accounted for by field-specific factors.
