Research funding: past performance is a stronger predictor of future scientific output than reviewer scores

作者：

Highlights：

• Basic research grants significantly increase scientific performance.

• Grant review scores have a low correlation with subsequent publication output in the course of the grant time.

• The past scientometric performance of the principal investigator is the best predictor of future performance.

• International reviewers are significantly less efficient than national reviewers.
