A new study suggests that winning a Nobel Prize or a MacArthur Fellowship does not necessarily enhance the productivity or impact of scientists in their field. The study found that Nobel laureates published about the same number of papers after receiving the award, but those papers had fewer citations compared to their pre-award work. MacArthur fellows published slightly more, but their citations remained the same. Age also seemed to have an effect, with winners aged 42 or older experiencing a drop in both publications and citations. The study suggests a need to reassess the purposes, criteria, and impacts of research awards to improve the scientific enterprise.
