The study analyzed publication and citation patterns of Nobel laureates and MacArthur fellows and found that post-award productivity either remained the same or decreased. Older scientists were particularly affected, with declining citations and publication counts after winning the award. However, some argue that productivity cannot be solely measured by papers and citations, as there are other factors that contribute to a scientist's impact.
