“THE DATA BEHIND NOBEL PRIZES”

Since 1901, the Nobel foundation has awarded its annual prizes for chemistry, physics and medicine/physiology to up to three scientists. 604 different scientists have won the prize (some of them twice, like Marie Sk?odowska Curie, John Bardeen and Fred Sanger). We’ve taken a look at some of the data behind those 604 people and their prize winning work how long do laureates wait between publishing their work and winning the prize? How many citations do those papers gather? And where did the laureates live and work?

Country by country

It’s no surprise that the US leads the way as the country with most chemistry laureates (in terms of where they were working when they received the award), with 76. Germany (in its various guises) is second with 31, and the UK third with 28 laureates. Individual institutions

When it comes to institutions, the picture is a little more complicated. Taking the University of California system as a single institution takes it to the top with 13. The various Max Planck institutes in Germany can claim 11 laureates. If you count the UK’s Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology as part of the University of Cambridge, then the university can also claim 11 chemistry laureates. If not, the MRC is equal with Stanford University on seven laureates. So it all depends how you define an institution!
