The aim of the model is to explore the effects of funding mechanisms on the population and The simulation can represent four different funding mechanisms: The key result is that the choice of funding mechanism has a significant effect on the scientific An important factor in the epistemic success of peer-review-based funding mechanisms ./cache/work_2z5z3ou3vjdo3pzld7ashymn5q.pdf ./txt/work_2z5z3ou3vjdo3pzld7ashymn5q.txt
