Outline of Final Research Achievements

The number of Nobel Prizes is widely used for an indicator representing a nation’s scientific and technological performances. There are some existing works mainly focus on the preference of Nobel Laureates and it is rarely to use bibliographic data of Laureates to evaluate his/her research works and its spillover process.
In our study, we have found that (1) majority of Nobel Laureates starts his core invention and/or scientific discoveries around mid-30s, (2) from the in-depth qualitative analysis for twenty-one Nobel Laureates from Japan, they have characteristics that (a.) non-linear path to proceed early scientific carrier, (b.) active collaboration with scientists in another disciplines, and (c.) has foreign study experiences to get state-of-the-art knowledge from front runner scientific communities.
