Product Quality in Scientific Competition

The paper presents a linear model of product quality in scientific competition.The only outputs of research are published papers; the onlyinputs are labor and papers by other researchers, which are cited whenused. Researchers compete for status, measured as their rank in a citationscount. If quality is hereditary in the production process, competitionand self-fulfilling expectations can establish a quality scale.
