ABHAY MAURYA, Amit Kumar

Abstract


The Nobel Prize for Chemistry has been conferred to outstanding individuals for their epoch-making works since the inception of the Nobel Prize in 1901. The Nobel Laureates in Chemistry is selected by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Fifteen outstanding individuals have been conferred the Nobel Prize from 2014 till 2018. This study attempts to draw a bio-bibliographic picture of all Nobel Laureates in Chemistry from 2014 till 2018 considering various aspects like their productivity, h-index, collaboration, preferred co-author, and channels of communication. Analysis of the data shows the high productivity of the authors and the high h-index. The authors preferred to work in collaboration which is evident from high values of collaboration index. This study has also observed the relevance of high productivity and high number of citations on the h-index.
