| Abstract | Known as the driving force of biotechnology innovation, scientific individuals contribute significantly to knowledge transfer through their privileged connections with other scientists of the field. The objective of this work is to investigate the role of individual scientists and their collaborations in innovation networks. In order to study the networks in their dynamic context an agent-based simulation model is developed using real data based on the Canadian biotechnology publications. While the repetitiveness of the collaborative relationships among scientists has shown negative effects, the presence of the gatekeepers has proved to be very positive for the overall efficiency of the network. The impact of star scientists on the innovative activities has been found positive, but some negative effects on the flow of knowledge in the network have been detected. |
