Title: The Academic Midas Touch: An Unconventional Scientometric for Evaluating Academic Excellence
(Submitted on 25 Sep 2023)
Abstract: The recognition of academic excellence is fundamental to the scientific and academic endeavor. In particular, academic scientometrics that are able to computationally capture academic excellence are of great interest. In this work, we propose and investigate an unconventional scientometric termed the Academic Midas Touch (AMT) that refers to a researcher's tendency to produce outstanding publications (i.e., golden publications). Using an extensive dataset of mathematicians, both award-winning and otherwise, we show that the AMT scientometric is a valid and arguably valuable scientometric for the distinction of academic excellence.
