Figure 2. Four measures of the scientific impact of individual researchers from 2003 to 2007, expressed as functions of the logarithm of each researcher's NSERC Discovery grant.

Details are the same as in Figure 1, except that results shown here are for scientists funded by the NSERC grant selection committee in Organic and Inorganic Chemistry. Again, individual impact increases with funding with a slope ≤1.0, and researchers who held grants other than NSERC are not significantly more productive than those who did not.
