IZWT Kolloquium - Selection and Placement of the Scientific Elite. The Network of Nobel Prize Nominations in Physics & Chemistry, 1901-1969
Abstract:
The iconic presentation of the Nobel Prize attracts attention far beyond the usual scope of a scientific award and is staged both in a broad media coverage but also in the provision of a large data archive of Nobel Prize nominations. According to the statutes of the Nobel Foundation, nominations may be published 50 years after the respective awarding.
In my dissertation project, I compiled a unique dataset of nominees and nominators in the categories of physics and chemistry using the Nobel nomination archive and additional data sources.
In my talk, I will present initial results including whether nominations are subject to placement power.
