Credit share evolution. (A) The credit share of the authors of the 1997 Nobel prize-winning paper (32). (Inset) Credit share obtained when we only consider the cocited papers published after the publication of the prize-winning paper. (B) The credit share of the authors of the other 1997 Nobel prize-winning paper (36). (C) Credit share of six physicists who contributed to the theory of Higgs boson in 1964 (4749), obtained by our method using the Web of Science dataset as input. (Inset) The same as in C but based on the APS dataset. (D) The influence of the Nobel prize on laureates’ credit share. For each laureate, we use the increase ratio (ca/cb) to quantify the change of her credit share after she was awarded the Nobel prize. In the box plot, whiskers are higher than 90th percentile or lower than 10th percentile. Results are based on the Web of Science dataset.
