O Hall da Fama da Ciência

Bem-vindo ao Hall da Fama da revista Science (The Science Hall of Fame), um panteão dos mais famosos cientistas dos últimos 200 anos. Esse banco de dados interativo usa uma medida objetiva e literal para mensurar a fama: a frequência com que os nomes completos dos cientistas aparecem em livros publicados entre 1800 e 2000. Esse é um exemplo de “culturomics” (consulte o artigo de Michel et al. na edição de 14 de janeiro de 2011).

Procure os cientistas pelo nome para ver o seu impacto em milliDarwins (mD): um milésimo da frequência média anual que o nome de Charles Darwin aparece em livros de língua inglesa a partir do ano em que tinha 30 anos (1839) até 2000. Leia também o artigo que introduz o Hall da Fama e explore os dados no site de apoio.
