-- Higgs Boson is forecast for Science honors; Economics nominees include theorists of economic regulation

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 25, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The IP & Science business of Thomson Reuters, the world leader in intelligent information for businesses and professionals, announced its 2013 "Nobel-class" Citation Laureates today. Having accurately forecast 27 Nobel Prize winners since its inception in 2002, the annual Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates study mines scientific research citations to identify the most influential researchers in the fields of chemistry, physics, medicine and economics.

This year, noteworthy nominees on the Thomson Reuters list include Francois Englert and Peter W. Higgs for their prediction of the Brout-Englert-Higgs boson particle in the field of physics; and, in the field of economics, Sam Peltzman and Richard A. Posner for their work extending economic theories of regulation.  Nominees in the field of medicine include Adrian P. Bird, Howard Cedar and Aharon Razin for their fundamental discoveries concerning DNA methylation and gene expression. Chemistry nominees include M.G. Finn, Valery V. Fokin and K. Barry Sharpless for their development of modular click chemistry. If selected, this would be Sharpless's second Nobel Prize (he won in 2001 for his work on chirally catalyzed oxidation reactions).

The complete list of Nobel predictions includes 28 researchers representing 22 distinct academic and research organizations, and six different countries.

"Scientific research citations function as a repayment of an intellectual debt," said Gordon Macomber, managing director, Thomson Reuters Scholarly & Scientific Research. "By analyzing these citations in aggregate over many years, we are able to identify individual researchers and institutions that have the greatest impact on their fields of study and, as a result, are most likely to capture the attention of the Nobel jury."

The annual Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates study is based on analysis of proprietary data from the Thomson Reuters research and citation database, Web of Science™, which identifies the most influential researchers in the categories of chemistry, physics, physiology or medicine, and economics. Based on a thorough review of citations to each person's research, the company names these high-impact researchers as Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates and predicts they will be Nobel Prize winners, either this year or in the future.

For detailed information about the Citation Laureates and their fields of research, and to view previously named Citation Laureates whom Thomson Reuters considers continuing contenders for a Nobel Prize, visit Thomson Reuters ScienceWatch, an open-Web resource for science metrics and research performance analysis. Thomson Reuters works with academic institutions and funding bodies globally using its unique data and the methodology underlying the Citation Laureates program to identify top and emerging talent across disciplines. Read more information about the insights that can be gleaned from bibliometric data.

Follow @TR_ScienceWatch on Twitter for up-to-the-minute news on the predictions and deeper insight into their fields of research. Facebook users are encouraged to submit their own predictions for the 2013 Nobel Prize winners and take part in Nobel discussions on the Web of Knowledge Facebook page.
