Abstract

Because specialization seems a sine qua non of both scientific training and scientific careers, only relatively rarely are questions of specialization versus diversity raised. For example, does the research scientist fit the popular stereotype of being narrow in his interests? A study of some 300 R&D workers showed that breadth of interests both on and off the job has a significant effect on productivity.
