Abstract: Based on previous research results, this article establishes a more comprehensive and standardized dataset, and obtains several new results on the traditional problem of "statistical distribution of peak age in scientific research", which are different from the classic conclusions published by scholars such as Zhao Hongzhou. In addition, this article further evaluates the practical reference value of relevant statistical results for the generative mechanism of scientific and technological elites in China today, and calls on the academic community to pay attention to the rich dialectical relationship between statistical laws and case studies.

摘要: 本文在以往研究成果的基础上建立了标准更为全面综合的统计数据集,在“科学家科研高峰年龄统计分布”这一传统问题上得到若干新结果,其与赵红州等学者发表的经典结论不尽相同。此外,本文还进一步评价了相关统计结果对于今日我国科技精英生成机制的实践参考价值,呼吁学术共同体关注统计规律与个案考察之间的丰富辩证关联。
