Thomson Reuters today announced the 2009 Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates — researchers likely to be in contention for Nobel honors — in anticipation of this year’s Nobel Prize winners in the sciences and in economics to be announced from October 5-12.
Thomson Reuters is the only organization to use quantitative data to make annual predictions of Nobel Prize winners.
Each year, data from ISI Web of Knowledge is used to quantitatively determine the most influential researchers in the Nobel categories of Physiology or Medicine, Physics, Chemistry, and Economics. These high-impact researchers are named Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates and predicted to be Nobel Prize winners, either this year or in the near future, based on the citation impact of their published research.
Since 2002, 15 Citation Laureates have gone on to win Nobel Prizes.

The Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates typically rank among the top one-tenth of one percent (0.1%) of researchers in their fields, based on citations of their published papers over the last two or three decades.
