In this short piece, I delved into the connections of Nobel laureates by applying Network Science methods to and public data collected from Wikipedia. I uncovered the existence of a central "giant component" in the Nobel laureate network, highlighting the core-periphery structure and the disparity in visibility among laureates. I explored the dominance of laureates in the fields of science and humanities, revealing a polarization that contradicts the trend of interdisciplinary research. Furthermore, it the finding sheds light on the underrepresentation of female laureates in certain Nobel Prize categories.
翻译:在这篇短文中,我运用网络科学方法与从维基百科收集的公开数据,深入探究了诺贝尔奖得主之间的联系。我揭示了诺贝尔奖得主网络中核心"巨连通分量"的存在,凸显了其核心-边缘结构以及获奖者之间知名度的差异。我探究了科学与人文学科领域获奖者的主导地位,发现了一种与跨学科研究趋势相悖的两极分化现象。此外,这一发现也揭示了女性获奖者在某些诺贝尔奖项类别中代表性不足的问题。
