ABSTRACT
We analyze the effect of different types of online and offline ties - 
acquaintanceship, advice, and co-authorship - on researchers'  
productivity and influence. Unlike static studies of networked work, we 
look at how changes in these networks affected researchers' performance 
and influence. Using the number of publications as an indicator of 
productivity and the number
of citations as an indicator of influence, we investigate when 
researchers were more productive and influential. We study whether their 
networks were cohesive, if the researchers were central in their 
networks or linked to central players, and whether their
work had more opportunities to be disseminated through diverse, 
non-redundant ties. Although the connectedness of their networks was 
positively associated with the researchers' productivity, it was the 
non-redundant effective size of the networks that was
positively associated with the researchers' influence.
