Abstract

This paper presents a novel framework for measuring the degree of departure from prior research in new works, documenting the "pivot penalty", where the impact of research declines as scientists venture further from their past focus. The strengths include its broad applicability, strong data, and policy implications. Concerns include under-explored benefits of pivoting, alternative explanation[s] such as [the] timing of rewards, evolving journal preferences, and the choice of journals over fields for analysis.
