“…For example, we have neglected the possibility that the activation threshold can change during the simulation, like a sudden change in the overall susceptibility of the population at the critical point of the Twitter dynamics, which might allow the threshold model to account for the observed Twitter dynamics. In addition, targeted activations or instantaneous activation nuclei [63] can also have significant impact on the speed of spreading. However, without evidence of their presence in the contagion, we have not considered them in our modeling.…”

The catalyzing role that influential individuals play in driving large-scale social contagion has been the focus of many recent empirical and theoretical studies. Nevertheless, complementary studies suggest that the success of social contagion depends largely on having a group of highly susceptible individuals. Here we show that being influential is not due solely to having susceptible peers and that the relative importance of influential versus susceptible individuals depends on the underlying mechanism driving the contagion. Our mathematical models show that for passive social influence both influential and susceptible individuals catalyze the spread of the contagion progressively and equitably. In contrast, for active social influence, susceptible individuals facilitate rapid initial contagion, but then influential individuals are necessary for sustaining the growth of the contagion. We show that active influence characterizes certain online social networks, like retweeting behavior on Twitter, while passive influence characterizes other online social networks, like adoption of whom to follow on the Digg network.

“…The alteration indicators 7 and 8, inspired by Sangwal (2015), facilitate the identification of abrupt changes in international collaboration rate. The following indicators are based on country volume within publications:

CIP: Number of countries per international publication.

CIPh: Number of countries per highly cited international publication.

In this study, three chemistry research themes closely associated with the Nobel Prize are bibliometrically analyzed—Ribozyme, Ozone and Fullerene—as well as a research theme in chemistry not associated with the Nobel Prize (a Nobel snub theme): Brunauer–Emmett–Teller equation. We analyze, based on an algorithmically constructed publication-level classification system, the evolution of the four themes with respect to publication volume and international collaboration, using two datasets, one of them a subset of highly cited publications, for each considered time period. The focus of the study is on international collaboration, where co-occurrence of country names in publications is used as a proxy for international collaboration. For all four themes, especially for Brunauer–Emmett–Teller equation, the publication volumes increase considerably from the earliest period to the later periods. The international collaboration rate shows an increasing trend for each theme. For Ozone, Fullerene and Brunauer–Emmett–Teller equation, the international collaboration rate tend to be higher for the highly cited publications compared to full datasets. With regard to the evolution of number of countries per international publication and per highly cited international publication, a vast majority of the distributions are positively skewed, with a large share of publications with two countries. With respect to the last four periods of the study, the concentration to two countries per publication is more pronounced for the Brunauer–Emmett–Teller equation theme compared to the three Nobel Prize themes.

“…Various aspects of publication and citation records of Nobel laureates have been discussed in the literature, and the number of papers, in which their bibliometric data were analyzed is very high. Yet a vast majority of those publications were focused on specific narrow aspects of the bibliometric records of Nobel laureates, e.g., they only considered a few specific papers authored by Nobel laureates (Sangwal 2015), a few Nobel laureates (Kosmulski 2012), Nobel laureates 1 3 from one discipline (Boettke et al 2012), did not compare Nobel laureates with top non-Nobel scientists (Kreiner 2016), etc. In contrast we can hardly find comprehensive studies involving many Nobel laureates, many different bibliometric indicators, results from various databases, and comparison with top non-Nobel scientists.…”

The achievements of all 97 Nobel laureates in Chemistry, Economy, Medicine, and Physics of the period 2010-2019 are compared with achievements of top non-Nobel scientists in terms of standard bibliometric indicators (number of publications, number of citations, Hirsch index), of the numbers of highly cited papers and of hot papers (as defined by WoS®), and of c, a composite score (Ioannidis et al. in PLoS Biol 14:e1002501, 2016). Ninety recent Nobel laureates were in top 100,000 scientists in terms of c, and 45 recent Nobel laureates were in top 6000 scientists in terms of c. Only 32 recent Nobel laureates were in top 6000 scientists in terms of ch (Hirsch-type index with self-citations excluded), 32 recent Nobel laureates were in top 6000 scientists in terms of the number of citations (self-citations excluded), 17 recent Nobel laureates were among the 6000 Highly Cited Researchers (WoS®), 4 recent Nobel laureates were in top 6000 scientists in terms of the number of hot papers, and 2 recent Nobel laureates were in top 6000 scientists in terms of the number of highly cited papers.
