最近由于要写点东西,搜了一下美国政策专家保罗萨巴蒂尔教授的文章,不经意间看了一下这位老先生的简历,主要关注他的学术产出、申报的科研项目以及获奖等,不由得想到其实所有人的生活都是相似的,内心颇有些感慨,还是先看看人家学术上的投入-产出吧?

保罗萨巴蒂尔(Paul A. Sabatier 1944-)是美国政策科学教授,现供职于加州大学戴维斯分校的环境科学与政策系。

这老先生1974年从芝加哥大学政治科学系获得博士学位(Ph.D. University of Chicago, Department of Political Science, 1971-74);1972年开始到加州大学戴维斯分校工作(Division of Environmental Studies, University of California, Davis),从事政策研究的教学与科研工作,到如今已经整整50年了。这五十年萨巴蒂尔教授取得的学术成就还是很棒的,不妨看看下面的数据:

1、发表记录(截至2000年左右):

发表了56篇文章,包括研究报告。

发表了12篇书评。

出版了6本著作。

2、科研项目(RESEARCH GRANTS):

Schwartz) on "Environmental Planning on the Northern California Coast."

Mass., to study "Possible Counterproductive Effects of Environmental Controls in the Lake

10) July 1985-June 1986: $20,000 from the U.C. Water Resources Center on "The Effect of

Scientific Information on Environmental Policy-Making at Lake Tahoe, 1960-84."

11) April 1986-June 1987: $13,000 from the PSRDP, UC Davis, on "Land Development at Lake

Tahoe."

14) July 1992-June 1993: $19,000 from Dept. of Water Resources, "Longitudinal Analysis of Policy

Participants Regarding the SF Bay/Delta, 1984-91."

15) August 1993-July 1996: $51,732 + 40,649 from the University of California Transportation

Center, "Automotive Pollution Control in the U.S.: Multiple Lenses on Four Puzzles."

16) June 1995-June 1997: $158,226 from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, "Coalition

Formation and Stability in Environmental Policy."

17) November 1996-September 2000 (with 7 Co-PIs) $1,292,627 from the U.S. Environmental

Institutional and Political Dispositions in the Lake Tahoe Basin.”

21个项目合计获得科研经费2464548美元,其中最大的项目129万美元,最小的项目3500美元。由此可见,申请项目真是不容易啊!

下面对他的学术成就做一些简单的投入产出分析:

把一本书折合成5篇学术文章,书评就算一篇文章,那么合计下来,萨巴蒂尔约发表了98篇文章,考虑到他简历里的成果仅统计到2000年,那么合理推测,到2004年他60岁仍处于学术的成熟期,那就意味着他将仍然有不错的产出,前期产出约是2.5/年(1972-2000),那么根据趋势外推,到2004年就有10篇文章产出,那么到201470岁了,年纪大了产出降低,按照1.5/年,那么这段时间将产出15篇文章。到现在估计有130篇左右(封闭期间没有办法利用数据库检索),这也是不错的产出记录。

那么萨巴蒂尔教授的投入-出产数据是:投入(获得的科研项目)约250万美元,年均5万美元/年(到2022年他工作了50年);产出130篇文章,年均2.6/年;篇均成本:19231/篇。也就是说每产生一篇文章需要投入接近2万美元。可见科研成果是很昂贵的。

另外,这老先生曾获得两次专业奖。

1、Winner (with Dan Mazmanian) of the 1997 Aaron Wildavsky Award from the Public Policy

2Section of the American Political Science Association for Enduring Contribution to Policy

Studies: D. Mazmanian and P. Sabatier, Implementation and Public Policy (Scott, Foresman, 1983).

总体看来下,萨巴蒂尔教授是一名中规中矩的学者,一生中教学、科研与社会服务一样都不少,从简历中看,萨巴蒂尔总共带了9名博士生、8名硕士与1名博士后,目测下来应该是很优秀的学者,但还没有达到大红大紫的程度,也许这就是绝大多数一直在努力的学者的一生写照。如果硬要排序的话,应该在美国教授的序列中占30%以内的位次(我凭感觉瞎猜的),这应该很不错了。反观一下,中国很多学者(同样是人文社科类)比他有钱,重大项目都能拿好几个,在顶刊上更是发文多多,获奖无数,但我却怎么也没有感觉到中国的人文社科因此就繁荣了?
