| Descripción: | Abstract This paper examines the relationship between excellence scholarships and research productivity, scientific impact, and degree completion. Drawing on the entire population of doctoral students in the province of Québec, this pa- per analyzes three distinct sources of data: students, excellence scholarships, and scientific publications. It shows that funded students publish more pa- pers than their unfunded colleagues, but that there is only a slight difference between funded and unfunded PhD students in terms of scientific impact. Funded students, especially those funded by the federal government, are also more likely to graduate. Finally, although funding is clearly linked to higher degree completion for students who did not publish, this is not true of those who managed to publish at least one paper during the course of their PhD. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implication of the findings for Canadian science policy.Résumé À partir de trois différentes sources de données relatives à l’ensemble de la population de doctorants du Québec (listes d’étudiants, de boursiers et d’articles savants), le présent article examine les liens qui existent entre les bourses d’excellence et la productivité en recherche, l’impact scientifique et l’obtention d’un diplôme. Il démontre que les étudiants financés publient davantage que ceux qui ne le sont pas, mais qu’il n’existe qu’une infime différence entre les deux groupes d’étudiants en termes d’impact scientifique. Par ailleurs, les étudiants financés sont plus susceptibles d’obtenir leur diplôme, et cette relation est encore plus forte si le financement provient du gouvernement fédéral. Enfin, bien que le financement soit clairement associé à un taux plus élevé d’obtention de diplôme chez les étudiants qui n’ont rien publié pendant leurs études doctorales, cette relation disparaît chez les étudiants qui ont publié au moins un article. Une discussion portant sur les conséquences des résultats obtenus sur la politique scientifique du Canada conclut le présent article. |
