论文摘要
成倍增长的科学论文刺激了有关科学数量与质量之间相互作用的讨论。特别是，人们可能会想知道哪种出版物策略可能会带来更多成功的机会：发表大量论文，生产一些热门论文或介于两者之间。在这里，我们通过研究诺贝尔奖获得者的科学作品集来解决这个问题。对基于引用的个人影响指标的比较分析表明，成功的最佳途径可能依赖于始终如一地产生高质量的工作。这种新的模式尤其受到新的指标，即$ e $ index，该指标比最先进的措施更好地确定了卓越。
The exponentially growing number of scientific papers stimulates a discussion on the interplay between quantity and quality in science. In particular, one may wonder which publication strategy may offer more chances of success: publishing lots of papers, producing a few hit papers, or something in between. Here we tackle this question by studying the scientific portfolios of Nobel Prize laureates. A comparative analysis of different citation-based indicators of individual impact suggests that the best path to success may rely on consistently producing high-quality work. Such a pattern is especially rewarded by a new metric, the $E$-index, which identifies excellence better than state-of-the-art measures.
