1 What is Impact? Lessons Learnt from 20 th Century Science & Engineering Arun Majumdar Stanford University

2

3 High Career Success Well known for successful research programs More papers First review paper Become Dept. Chair, Dean or ARPA-E Director Low Born First scientific paper Time Speak about What is Impact?

4 Is Impact Measured By Papers & Citations: h-index Awards & honors New fields started Patents issued & licensed Market value of business(es) Students, post-docs & their students/postdocs..

5 J. E. Hirsch, An index to quantify an individual's scientific research output, PNAS 102, (2005) Cited: 4,141 For the few scientists who earn a Nobel prize, the impact and relevance of their research is unquestionable. Among the rest of us, how does one quantify the cumulative impact and relevance of an individual's scientific research output? In a world of limited resources, such quantification (even if potentially distasteful) is often needed for evaluation and comparison purposes (e.g., for university faculty recruitment and advancement, award of grants, etc.). h = mn n = # of active years m 1 successful scientist m 2 outstanding scientist m 3 or higher truly unique individuals

6 Physics Nobels 2005 NAS Members Physics & Astronomy: <h>=44, σ h =14, h max =71, h min =20 Biological Sciences: <h>=57, σ h =22, h max =135, h min =18 J Bardeen, WH Brattain, The Transistor, A Semiconductor Triode, Phys. Rev. 74, 230 (1948) Cited: 762 J Bardeen, L Cooper, JR Schrieffer, Theory of Superconductivity, Phys. Rev. 108, 1175 (1957) Cited: 9,703 <h> = 44; σ h = 15 <m> = 1.14; σ m = 0.47 F. Sanger, The free amino acid groups of insulin, Biochemical J. 39, 507 (1945) Cited: 1,813 F. Sanger, S. Nicklen, A. R. Coulson, DNA sequencing with chain-terminating inhibitors, PNAS 74, 5463 (1977) Cited: 62,767
