Thomson Reuters predicts Nobel Laureates for 2010 – 22 Sep 2010

“Information services provider Thomson Reuters, US, has announced the 2010 Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates researchers likely to be in contention for Nobel honours. Thomson Reuters claims to be the only organisation to use quantitative data to make annual predictions of Nobel Prize winners.

Each year, Thomson Reuters uses data from its research solution, Web of Knowledge, to quantitatively determine the most influential researchers in the Nobel categories of Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, and Economics. Based on 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. Since 2002, 19 Citation Laureates have gone on to win Nobel Prizes.

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 decades. This year, 15 of the 21 Citation Laureates hail from American universities. Researchers from France, Japan, Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom also appear among the 2010 picks.

Do you know about Researcher ID? (Thomson Reuters)

Posted on by

Researcher ID was devised by ISI/Thomson, for use in Web of Knowledge (Web of Science) to help identify and organize all papers by an author, standardizing author’s names.  Princeton University has a subscription, so you may access this database and add to it, by going through the Library homepage, under "Articles and Databases" then Web of Science .  You may notice that you already have a ResearcherID, and you may want to see if your listing is complete — or needs any corrections!

"ResearcherID, [also] available via ResearcherID.com, is a global, multi-disciplinary scholarly research community. By assigning a unique identifier to each author who participates, ResearcherID provides an invaluable index to accurate author identification and increases recognition of work and collaboration among researchers."

"US Thomson Reuters adds new features to ISI Web of Knowledge platform – 29 Jul 2008

The Scientific business of Thomson Reuters, US, has announced that new features have been added to ISI Web of Knowledge. Most notably, a citation mapping tool has been incorporated to provide researchers with a visual result to their research.

The citation mapping tool tracks an article’s cited and citing references through two generations, allowing researchers to visually discover an article’s wider relationships. The resulting ‘family tree’ of information can be utilised by the researcher to highlight the citation relationships most important to their research.

ISI Web of Knowledge is an integrated research platform that delivers access to diversified scholarly information in the sciences, social sciences and arts and humanities, as well as search and analysis tools that enhance this content. It provides users the ability to search the right content and find relevant information – whether that information is found in international journals, open access resources, books, patents, proceedings or websites.
