This list has errors as of 2002, most notably the omission of Israel which had
5 Laureates at the time (and now has 10). Moreover, as of now this list is
missing 10 years of data. |

This list only goes from 1901-2002, it say so right at the bottom of the list. Maybe you kids should finish the article before you decide to start throwing stones. |

The founding father was virtuous, pious and global.
A change in stance is a Natural phenomenon in every liberal/charitable work.
Let us celebrate the noble spirit of Nobel and leave aside whatever is not
noble- whether exclusion of Gandhiji from this honor or non- inclusion of
actual winners in any Lists. A stiff resistance by Mr Wirsen, the chairman
of the Nobel Committee delayed the presentation of the award to Mme Selma
Legerloff- a European. The inclusion of Gandhi Ji would have turned the
scales of freedom struggle in favor of India and believe it or not; this
comment in 1946 could have reserved me a berth in one of the most dreaded
jails with promise of NO RETURN.All is well that ends well. |

Germany should be higher than both UK & US. America should definately be below both Germany & UK consider most American innovations were actualy invented by German Scientist. The nuke, Nasa and its rockets etc. America steals credit from its foreigners. In reality, the nation has invented very little. |

Why have you omitted Israel from the list?? There's at least 7 Nobel laureates! |

Anyone who purports to list statistics of an academic nature should at least know how to head a table. One does not use the collective noun "amount" to denote people, or, for that matter, anything that can be counted. The correct collective noun is "number". |

How come Israel is not listed as a recipient of 10 Nobel prizes in your global listing. Turkey, which never received any, is highlighted in green in your map of the Middle East, but not Israel. Why? |
Geoffrey Dennis

Why didn´t you list Argentina who has five nobel prize laureates? Your list doesn´t seem accurate according to the many very justified comments a read in your page!! |

The above statistics ignores that most of the laureates got just a fraction of a Nobel Prize, especially in the second half of the century. There is a much more differentiated analysis of Nobel Prizes by country, with lots of charts: Evolution of National Nobel Prize Shares in the 20th Century: http://www.idsia.ch/~juergen/nobelshare.html and http://arxiv.org/abs/1009.2634 |

this table needs explaining.
Title: "Nobel Prize laureates by country". Which country ?
-country of residence ?
-country where the University worked for (at time of prize) was located ?
how are people with dual or triple passports categorized ? (Nobel people ove around constantly , and many have dual citizenship)
how are countries which have ceased to exist categorized ? (yugoslavia, east germany, USSR,...) |

Giancarlo Giacomazzi (Santiago, Chile)
12th 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. |
Estuardo

Guatemala has two Novel prizes, Miguel Angel Asturias and Rigoberta Menchu... why they don't appear? |
Alexos
23rd January 2006 |
You've obviously forgot a lot of people, including García Márquez, 1982 winner of Literature' Nobel Prize. I've reviewed the official database where you state you found the data and there is no reference of nationality, just names (where Garía Márquez is included) |
Mirza
25th November 2005 |
You forgot to mention that Bosnia has 2 Nobel Prize winners, one for literature and another one for chemistry, what's up with that? |
Amit Agarwal
18th October 2005 |
India, with at least 6 Nobel Prizes is the most surprising exclusion.
R.Tagore for Literature
C.V Raman for Physics
H.G Khurana for Medicine
S.Chandrashekhar for Physics
Mother Teresa for Peace
Amartya Sen for Economics
Sir V.S Naipaul is another Indian-origin winner for Literature. And Mahatma Gandhi was the most deserving of Nobel Peace prize, unjustifiably unawarded. |

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. |

This website erroneously lists New Zealand as having 0 Nobel laureates - in fact it has three to my knowledge: Ernest Rutherford, born 1871 in Nelson, NZ, awarded Nobel Prize for Chemistry 1908 (quite an important guy, I would have thought, since he first split the atom and led the way to atomic power - and the atom bomb); Maurice Wilkins, born 1916 in Pongaroa, NZ, joint winner of the Nobel Prize for Medicine in 1962 for the unravelling of DNA along with Crick & Watson; and more recently, Alan MacDiarmid, born Masterton, NZ, in 1927, joint winner of the 2000 Nobel Prize for Chemistry. Not bad for a country whose population has never risen much above 3million and is stuck at the bottom of the world. |

You forgot to mention a Pakistani nobel prize winner Abdus Salam who won the nobel prize for Physics in 1979 for his work on the electroweak theory. |

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. |

Nobel prize laureates (Top 50 Countries) - Definition: Number of Nobel Prize Laureates 1901-2002 has incorrect stats.
I am surprised your source claims to be the Nobel foundation.
They were atleast two laureates from India that I know about - 1930 - CV Raman - Physics
- 1913 - Tagore - Lit.
I dont know how many more you have missed from other countries. |
dude
7th April 2005 |
how many of the prize winners were arrested or being under capitivity? |

You are missing Colombia with one Nobel Price. It was back in 1982 when Colombian Gabriel García Marquez won the Nobel Prize for Literature. |
