In 2019, I conducted a comprehensive analysis, calculating the K-Index for 50 leading scientists. For detailed insights, please refer to the provided link. The K-Index, initially proposed in 2018 within the esteemed scientific journal Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications, stands out for its enhanced reliability compared to the conventional h-index, boasting a notably stronger correlation with Nobel Prize laureates. Recently, I revisited this study, recalculating the K-Index for select scientists from the initial cohort to gauge their performance over the past five years. The ensuing findings are outlined below:
Alain Aspect (Nobel 2022)…………21% increase
David Baltimore………………………..18%
Allen Bard………………………………..25%
T.Berners-Lee…………………………..27%
Roger Penrose (Nobel 2020)………29%
Mildred Dresselhaus………………….32%
Anthony Fauci…………………………..25%
Jean Fréchet……………………………22%
Luc Montagnier (Nobel 2008)…….12%
Martin Karplus………………………….19%
Margaret Geller………………………..19%
Charles Townes………………………..20%
Eric Kandel (Nobel 2000)…………..18%
Dennis Bray……………………………..12%
Pierre Chambon………………………..22%
Kary Mullis (Nobel 1993)……………20%
Edward Witten………………………….10%
Edward Wilson…………………………24%
Nüsslein-Volhard (Nobel 1995)…..18%
PS – Given that in the last five years my K-index has increased by 130%, what does this mean?
