- Abstract
This research aims to investigate the effect of the Derek de Solla Price memorial award reception on publishing behavior of medalists through comparing their research performance in 5 years before and after the prize. The current study was conducted using scientometric indicators. The population of the study was comprised of all scholarly output of 26 Price medalists. Web of Science and Journal Citation Reports were utilized for data collection. Results of the study revealed that the research performance of medalists in all five studied indicators, namely the number of publications, the number of citations received, the quality of journals in which their articles have been published, the number of research collaborations and the number of research collaborators, improved after prize reception, but not in a statistically significant level. Moreover, the tendency of prize winners to international research collaboration has increased in a notable manner upon prize reception. We can conclude that he reception of Price medal in scientometrics has no statistically significant effect on the medalists' scientific publication, citation impact and research collaboration patterns.
