“The authors count the number of citations for each Nobel
prize-winner, using a service provided by JSTOR, a digital library. They look at what happens to Nobel prize-winners before and after they win their prizes. The data span from 1930 to 2005. One of the problems facing the authors was that, in 2005, there were many more JSTOR articles than in 1930. Therefore, raw citation numbers were
standardised by the total number of articles published in that year. The authors call the standardised units “Arrows”, after Kenneth Arrow, the economist who won the prize in 1972.”

“goal is part of a broader set of recommendations in support of open science, a concept that also includes improved storage of and access to research data. The Dutch government, which currently holds the rotating E.U. presidency, had lobbied hard for Europe-wide support for open science, as had Carlos Moedas, the European commissioner for research and innovation.

We probably don’t realize it yet, but what the Dutch presidency has achieved is just unique and huge,” Moedas said
