Abstract

The Nobel Prize is awarded annually for outstanding scientific discoveries and inventions. Most scientific papers today are co-authored by a large number of researchers. However, very few scientists can receive the Nobel Prize according to the Statutes of the Nobel Foundation. An analysis of the co-authorship of the Nobel laureates will make it possible to identify employees of Ukrainian institutions who have collaborated with leading scientists of the world, whose scientific works were noted by Nobel. For the development of science in Ukraine it is important to study the successful experience of cooperation of domestic research institutions with leading world scientists and research centers, because international scientific collaboration facilitates the process of acquiring new knowledge, promotes mutual enrichment of ideas, efficient use of resources and expands opportunities for further use of research results. Using the Scopus database, selected publications of Nobel Prize winners, which were written in collaboration with scientists who worked in Ukrainian institutions. The data obtained indicate that the employees of scientific institutions of Ukraine published very few papers in collaborations with Nobel Prize winners of 1994-2018 in comparison with employees of institutions in leading countries in publishing activity.
