This paper seeks to determine the size of professional networks for scientists in LDCs as well as the distribution of their ties across organizational contexts and locations. Professional contact networks of scientists in Africa and Asia were determined in personal interviews with 293 researchers in universities, government laboratories, and non-governmental organisations. Contrary to expectations, researchers in the least developed countries do not have the smallest networks. Results indicate that (1) international and domestic networks are inversely related, (2) education abroad increases contact with the developed world for scientists in state institutes and NGOs but not for academics, and (3) there are reduced returns to education for researchers in the least developed research systems. Our primary conclusion is that the characterization of LDC scientists as 'isolated' is misleading when their professional networks are concentrated in local arenas. | ||
