چکیده
Abstract Fast growing scientific topics have famously been key harbingers of the new frontiers science, yet, large-scale analyses their genesis and impact are rare. We investigated one possible factor connected with a topic’s extraordinary growth: prizes. Our longitudinal analysis nearly all recognized prizes worldwide over 11,000 from 19 disciplines indicates that associated prize experience growth in productivity, impact, entrants. Relative to matched non-prizewinning topics, prizewinning produce 40% more papers 33% citations, retain 55% scientists, gain 37 47% entrants star respectively, first five-to-ten years after prize. Funding do not account for growth. Rather, is positively related degree which discipline-specific, conferred recent research, or has money. These findings reveal dynamics behind innovation investment.
