Thoughts on uncitedness: Nobel laureates and Fields medalists as case studies
View through CrossRef
AbstractContrary to what one might expect, Nobel laureates and Fields medalists have a rather large fraction (10% or more) of uncited publications. This is the case for (in total) 75 examined researchers from the fields of mathematics (Fields medalists), physics, chemistry, and physiology or medicine (Nobel laureates). We study several indicators for these researchers, including the h‐index, total number of publications, average number of citations per publication, the number (and fraction) of uncited publications, and their interrelations. The most remarkable result is a positive correlation between the h‐index and the number of uncited articles. We also present a Lotkaian model, which partially explains the empirically found regularities.
