Thanks to CTOnews.com netizens for the delivery of clues on the way! CTOnews.com, July 3 (Xinhua)-- according to a recent paper published by the National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER), when scientists win the Nobel Prize, their scientific research efficiency and output tend to decline significantly.

Tu Yuan Pixabay this paper analyzes the data of the winners of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine from 1950 to 2010, and draws the change icon of the three factors after winning the prize through three dimensions: the number of papers published after winning the prize, the influence of papers based on the citation rate, and the novelty of ideas.

The researchers then used a computer program to determine each independent and unique scientific idea in the paper, and then based on the initial time when each idea first appeared in the unified medical language system of the National Library of the United States, to determine the novelty of the paper.

The researchers compared Nobel laureates with age-matched winners of the Rask Prize, because scientists are usually at a late stage in their careers when they are awarded the prize.

The results show that scientists publish more novel and more frequently cited papers before winning either the Nobel Prize or the Lasker Prize. After winning the Nobel Prize, the number of papers, the novelty of papers and the citation rate of papers have declined, which is the same as that of Lasker Prize winners, and even lower than that of Lasker Prize winners.

Kirk Doran, another social scientist from the University of Notre Dame in Australia, also studied the impact of the Fields Prize, known as the Nobel Prize in mathematics, on the career of mathematicians. The results show that the efficiency of scientific research will also decline after winning the award.

Kirk Doran points out that for most scientists, winning such a prestigious award is a life-changing event. After winning the award, they may be overwhelmed by opportunities for speeches, media interviews or books, which consume their time and energy in original scientific research.
