And the (Nobel Prize) Winner Is …
by Barbara Brynko
Every autumn, David Pendlebury looks forward to hearing who has won the year's Nobel Prizes. Pendlebury isn't hoping to queue up for an award himself, but he still has a big stake in the results. As citation analyst at Thomson Reuters, he spends months digging into data dating from as far as 3 decades ago in search of what he calls scientists and researchers of "Nobel class" who were pioneers in their respective fields. These are the men and women responsible for laying the very foundations of today's discoveries. Last year, each of Pendlebury's "predictions" came true; he predicted all four prizes and all nine new laureates. This set an all-time record since the Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates prediction process was officially launched in 2002. To date, Thomson Reuters Citation Laureates, part of the Intellectual Property and Science business of Thomson Reuters, has accurately predicted 27 Nobel Prize winners.

by Paula J. Hane
As Barack Obama and Mitt Romney prepared for their first debate on Oct. 3, 2012, the issues at the top of the voters' agenda have changed little since 2008, according to a recent survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press. Conducted Sept. 12-16 among 3,019 adults, including 2,424 registered voters, the results show that 87% of registered voters say that the economy will be very important to their vote, while 83% say jobs will be very important to their vote.
