RESEARCHERS' CAREER PATTERNS IN THE PERIPHERY Based on his Irish survey the author attempts to analyse the relationships between scientific communities of developed and underdeveloped countries. He comes to the conclusion that researchers of scientific disciplines which are not relevant to the economy of the respective less developed country are more likely to get their higher degrees in famous scientific research centres abroad; they forge more and closer links with their foreign colleagues and have a greater chance to get invitation and jobs abroad. Contrarily, scientists of scientific disciplines more relevant to the economy of the respective underdeveloped country /i.e. in more applied fields/ form a more coherent community the members of which have closer links with each other and the users' community but their links with foreign scientific communities seems to be looser. Finally,' the author recommends some measures which should be taken by governments in order to strengthen the foreign links of the latter community.
