Oraklet har talat: dessa blir årets Nobelpristagare

20 Sep 2007 | Kommentarer ()

Thomson/ISI förutspår varje år vilka årets Nobelpristagare ska bli baserat på citeringsdata (asså vilka forskares vetenskapliga artiklar som har citerats av andra vetenskapliga artiklar över tid):

To select the 2007 Thomson Scientific Laureates, total citation counts and number of high-impact papers in the Nobel science fields were examined. These data were applied to categories within those scientific fields considered worthy of special recognition by the Nobel Committee: physics, chemistry, physiology or medicine, and economics. Based on these criteria, possible winners-- leaders within a particularly noteworthy area of study within each field--were selected.
