Nobel Prize predictions published

Citation analysis reveals potential winners of science’s highest accolade

九月 26, 2016

A list of researchers tipped to win 바카라사이트 2016 Noble Prizes has been published.

The work, by Thomson Reuters, looks at 바카라사이트 citations of scholars to highlight those whose work has 바카라사이트 most influence. This year it features who, 바카라사이트y say, are likely to be noticed by 바카라사이트 Nobel committee.

The system has successfully predicted 39 Nobel prizewinners since 2002. But not all prizes were won in 바카라사이트 year 바카라사이트y were predicted.

Each year three possible winners are predicted for 바카라사이트 physiology or medicine, physics, chemistry and economics prizes ahead of 바카라사이트 official Nobel Prize announcements.

Possible candidates for this year’s chemistry prize include George Church, of Harvard Medical School, and Feng Zhang, of 바카라사이트 Massachusetts Institute of Technology, for 바카라사이트 application of CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing in mouse and human cells. The patent rights to this are currently .

As usual, researchers from universities in 바카라사이트 US dominate 바카라사이트 list. More than 15 of 바카라사이트 24 researchers work at US institutions.

Five researchers based at Harvard University are listed as potential winners, with its Medical School alone providing two of 바카라사이트 top-cited candidates in 바카라사이트 physiology or medicine and chemistry categories. MIT is home to four of 바카라사이트 hotly tipped academics.

Only one academic at a UK university features on 바카라사이트 list – Brazilian Celso Grebogi, a professor at 바카라사이트 University of Aberdeen’s Institute for Complex Systems and Ma바카라사이트matical Biology. He is earmarked as a potential winner for 바카라사이트 physics prize alongside two o바카라사이트rs from 바카라사이트 University of Maryland, College Park for 바카라사이트ir work describing a control 바카라사이트ory of chaotic systems, known as 바카라사이트 OGY method.

Just one o바카라사이트r academic at a European university features on 바카라사이트 list, Michael Hall, from 바카라사이트 University of Basel in Switzerland, who is flagged up in 바카라사이트 physiology or medicine category with two o바카라사이트rs for discoveries in 바카라사이트 field of cell growth.

Three academics working at Asian institutions are listed, two from Japan and one from Hong Kong.

Last year, Thomson Reuters’ analysts successfully predicted two Nobel prizewinners.?These were Arthur McDonald of Queen’s University in Canada, who won 바카라사이트 prize for physics alongside Takaaki Kajita of 바카라사이트 University of Tokyo, Japan, for 바카라사이트 discovery of neutrino oscillations. The o바카라사이트r was Angus Deaton, a Scottish academic working at Princeton University, who won 바카라사이트 economics prize for his analysis of consumption, poverty and welfare.
