The Nobel prize-winner Philip Anderson is the most creative physicist in
the world, according to a new analysis of scientific research papers.
Steven Weinberg -- another Nobel laureate -- is the second most creative
physicist, followed by Ed Witten in third. The study has been carried
out by José Soler, a statistical physicist at the University of Madrid,
who says that his "creativity index" could help universities to recruit
and promote the best staff (physics/0608006).
Thanks for that. I found a link to this article on that page:
Google unearths physics gems
21 April 2006
"Google could be a good way of measuring the "impact" of a particular
scientific paper and might even be used to replace traditional citation
indices, according to a new statistical analysis by physicists in the
US. The researchers have found that the Google PageRank algorithm,
which measures the relative importance of Web pages, can provide a
systematic way to find important papers. The technique also uncovers
scientific "gems" -- top papers overlooked by conventional searches
(physics/0604130)."
