71 'Citation Laureates' named by the
Institute for Scientific Information, some as early as a decade
ago, have now received a Nobel Prize
LONDON, Oct. 12,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Clarivate Plc (NYSE:CLVT),
a global leader in providing trusted information and insights to
accelerate the pace of innovation, today celebrates the seven new
Nobel Laureates across the fields of science and economics who were
accurately identified as potential Nobel Prize recipients. Each
individual was awarded the designation of Citation
Laureate™ several years before being named by the Nobel
Assembly – four, more than a decade – thanks to expert
interpretation of high-quality citation data at Clarivate.
Clarivate is the only organization in the world to use
quantitative data together with expert qualitative analysis to
identify the pinnacle realm of scientific contributions recorded in
the Web of Science.™ Using this unique approach, Clarivate
identifies researchers of Nobel class on its annual Citation
Laureates list and forecasts potential Nobel Prize recipients.
This year, Clarivate anticipated Nobel Laureates in three
fields: Physics, Chemistry and Economics, demonstrating the
association between the citation record which reflects influence
throughout a research community and peer judgement. Since 2002,
there have been 71 Citation Laureates who have gone on to receive a
Nobel Prize.
The seven Citation Laureates named as Nobel Laureates in 2022
are:
- The 2022 Nobel Prize for Physics, awarded to Alain
Aspect, John F. Clauser
and Anton Zeilinger, for
experiments with entangled photons, establishing the violation of
Bell inequalities and pioneering quantum information science.
-
- Clarivate forecasted a Nobel Prize for Clauser, Aspect, and
Zeilinger more than a decade ago, in 2011, based on a series
of highly cited and independently published papers that appeared in
the 1960s, 1980s, and 1990s, respectively. Their selection
recognized the obvious importance of their experimental
verification of "spooky action at a distance," a phenomenon of
quantum mechanics that strains our imagination. Their award brings
the Clarivate tally for successful Physics forecasts to 20 since
2002.
- The 2022 Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded to
Carolyn R. Bertozzi,
Morten P. Meldal and K.
Barry Sharpless for the
development of click chemistry and bioorthogonal chemistry.
-
- Clarivate selected Sharpless, Bertozzi and
Meldal separately as probable Nobel recipients in 2013, 2015
and 2019, respectively. Click chemistry, pioneered by Sharpless and
Meldal, has already had tremendous impact and application across
many fields and especially in the pharmaceutical industry.
Bioorthogonal chemistry, for which Bertozzi is recognized, is a
powerful method for studying biological processes and will enable
more precise clinical therapies. Clarivate has successfully
forecasted 13 Chemistry Nobel Prize recipients since 2002.
- The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of
Alfred Nobel 2022 was awarded
jointly to Douglas W.
Diamond alongside Ben S.
Bernanke and Philip H. Dybvig
for research on banks and financial crises.
-
- Clarivate predicted a Nobel Prize for Diamond way back in 2011
for his analysis of financial intermediation and delegated
monitoring, which describes the role and utility of banks. This
year's prize is broader in scope and includes how the banking
sector deals with financial crises. The new Laureates' key papers
are cited thousands of times, one by Diamond and Dybvig about 3,000
times, and were published as long ago as 1983. Diamond's award
makes 22 successful forecasts in Economics for Clarivate since
2002.1
To explain the success of Clarivate in identifying future Nobel
Laureates, David Pendlebury, Head of
Research Analysis at the Institute for Scientific Information at
Clarivate said, "There are many Nobel-worthy researchers in the
world, which makes accurately predicting who will be awarded the
honor of a Nobel Prize a special challenge. Our approach at
Clarivate is to start with the data – a quantitative analysis of
the top .01% of highly cited papers in the Web of Science (2,000+
citations), with our analysts then drawing on their deep expertise
to add a layer of qualitative analysis. In this way we can identify
potential Nobel awardees years ahead of their recognition by the
Nobel committee, as evidenced by the seven Citation Laureates
awarded this year. Their foundational work has led to some of the
world's greatest breakthroughs, and it is an honor to see them
recognized with a Nobel Prize."
