title = "Using the curriculum vita to study the career paths of scientists and engineers: An exploratory assessment",
abstract = "In this paper we assess the utility of the curriculum vita (CV) as a data source for examining the career paths of scientists and engineers. CVs were obtained in response to an email message sent to researchers working in the areas of biotechnology and microelectronics. In addition, a number of CVs were obtained {"}passively{"} from a search of the Internet. We discuss the methodological issues and problems of this data collection strategy and the results from an exploratory analysis using OLS regression and event history analysis. In sum, despite difficulties with coding and variation in CV formats, this collection strategy seems to us to hold much promise.",

note = "Funding Information: The Phase I work, sponsored by the US Department of Energy{\textquoteright}s (DOE) Office of Science, focused entirely on DOE-sponsored projects in government and university labs. We are now in Phase II based on continued funding from DOE and with new funding from NSF. Whereas Phase I focused on information developed in the case studies, Phase II is focusing on knowledge value impacts, using the CV as one research tool to examine labor flows and career trajectories. The core hypothesis of Phase II is that many of the impacts of projects are not easily confined within normal project boundaries but occur over considerable time as knowledge value diffuses into other settings.
