“重要的不是获胜，而是参与”，皮埃尔·德·顾拜旦的这句名言断言，运动员从奥运会中获得的价值在于他们对比赛的参与，而不是他们在比赛中获得的金牌。我们在参与资助竞赛的科学家身上发现了类似的证据。依靠瑞士资助计划的独特数据，我们发现，无论竞赛结果如何，参加研究资助竞赛的科学家都会增加他们的出版物数量和平均影响因子，同时扩展他们的知识库和合作网络。收到资金会增加与共同申请人共同创作的可能性，但对个人生产力没有额外影响。
"The important thing is not to win, it is to take part," this famous saying by Pierre de Coubertin asserts that the value athletes draw from Olympic games lies in their participation in the event and not in the gold they collect during it. We find similar evidence for scientists involved in grant competitions. Relying on unique data from a Swiss funding program, we find that scientists taking part in a research grant competition boost their number of publications and average impact factor while extending their knowledge base and their collaboration network regardless of the result of the competition. Receiving the funds increases the probability of co-authoring with co-applicants but has no additional impact on the individual productivity.
