Thomson Reuters Predicts Nobel Laureates
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Twenty-four "Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates" Recognized for Their
Contributions to the Advancement of Science
Philadelphia, PA USA, London UK, September 21, 2011 - With just two weeks until
the recipients of some of the world's most coveted research prizes are named,
Thomson Reuters is releasing its picks for 2011 Thomson Reuters Citation
Laureates - researchers likely to be in contention for Nobel honors.
Each year, Thomson Reuters uses data from its research solution, Web of
Knowledge(TM), to quantitatively determine the most influential researchers in
the Nobel categories of Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, and
Economics. Based on a thorough review of citations to their works, the company
names these high-impact researchers as Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates and
predicts them to be Nobel Prize winners, either this year or in the near future.
Thomson Reuters is the only organization to use quantitative data to make annual
predictions of Nobel Prize winners. Since 2002, 21 Citation Laureates have gone
on to win Nobel Prizes.
"In the scientific community, citations, when analyzed and counted, can serve as
another form of peer review," said David Pendlebury, Citation Analyst, Research
Services, Thomson Reuters. "The more cited a scientist is, the more well-
respected the author tends to be amongst his or her peers, which can be a
predictor of awards like the Nobel Prize. Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates are
chosen through a thoughtful assessment of citation counts and high-impact papers
as well as consideration of discoveries or themes that the Nobel Committee may
deem worthy of recognition."
The Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates typically rank among the top one-tenth of
one percent (0.1%) of researchers in their fields, based on citations of their
published papers over the last two or three decades.
This year, 18 of the 24 Citation Laureates hail from American institutions;
researchers from Austria, Australia, Canada, France, Germany, and Japan also
appear among the 2011 picks.

areas of study, and to read about previously named Citation Laureates who are
still in the running for a Nobel Prize, visit the Thomson Reuters Citation
Laureates website at http://science.thomsonreuters.com/nobel/.

the 2011 Nobel Prize winners and contribute to general Nobel discussion on the
Citation Laureates Facebook page, which replaces the previous Thomson Reuters
