No Chinese, no Indians, no Russians? There is something missing, in numbers od in principle. |

what's the point of statistics and charts if they're not correct and/or complete? there's dozens of noble prizes missing from the chart. even chile, i believe, has at least two. |

This list is WRONG! It does not show the Nobel Prize winners from India (0). There are 4 Indian citizens with a Nobel Prize, whereas 2 more Indians without Indian citizenship. There are quite a few Chinese Nobel winners but all of them were citizens of different countries. |

I know for a fact that Chile has two Literature Nobel Prize winners, they are - Gabriela Mistral and Pablo Neruda. |

The Nobel Prizes have been dominated by Europe and the U.S. for the past 100 years. Certain Countries pool their resources into a concentrated focus and so they are the ones who sometimes lead in certain fields but also it is political! Why with so many Scientists and engineers working on cutting edge technology from the Soviet Union, they did not win very many Prizes? Or China, I know they are behind in certain areas but they also have very good research programs in certain fields. What about Japan? I really do believe that politics play a big role in who wins. Why does the U.S. have huge trade deficits and deficits in high technology areas also but they win a fair amount of the prizes? Why did Europe pass the U.S. in the mid-1990's in scientific Journals and have widened the lead since with China coming fast? Why is 60 percent of the U.S. research dollars spent by the Military for Military weapons research(knowing a large portion of that is also wasted and stolen) while only 40 percent goes to the basic research projects and when one looks at that it becomes clear that the U.S. is not leading in basic research but Europe. And also Asia cannot be left out, it too has a vast scientific community. Examples of European Research projects: World's largest Fusion research project-France, World largest particle research center(Cern)France and Switzerland,World leader in Solar, Wind, Water(ocean),Geothermal,Hydrogen and other alternative energy projects-E.U.,Leaders in car research-Europe, Chemistry-Europe,one of the leaders in Aerospace-E.U.,Stem cell research-E.U. and in many other fields they are at the top or near the top. |

You've obviously forgot a lot of people, including García Márquez, 1982 winner of Literature' Nobel Prize. I've reviewed tha offical database where you state you found the data and there is no reference of nationality, just names (where Garía Márquez is included) |

Giancarlo Giacomazzi (Santiago, Chile) 13th July 2006 |
I need to make you know the big mystake this statistics set did, China appears with 2 Nobel prizes, and Chile, that have 2 Nobel prizes, is not in this chart. Please, you have to fix this because the name is Chile, not China. |
|
Alvaro Zuniga Cerutti. (Canada.) 12th September 2006 |
