It is evident from the map above that the birth country of the majority of laureates is the United States. A similar trend is observed for all the Nobel categories except for Literature, for which the leading country is France. A major concentration of Nobel awards is also observed in Europe, most notably in England, Germany and Russia. In other words, a person born in either North America or Europe is more likely to win a Nobel Prize.

The charts depicted above reveals the proportion of male and female Nobel Prize winners and their distribution over the years. While the early era had fewer female laureates, there has been a notable increase in recent times. However, it is important to note that women, especially in the natural science disciplines, still face greater challenges in winning Nobel Prizes. This gender disparity underscores that being a woman with outstanding contributions may not yield you nesseserily a Nobel award.

Within the fields of chemistry, medicine, and physics, there is a noticeable trend of the time lag between Nobel Prize year and publication year progressively expanding over time. This trend suggests that scientific discoveries within these disciplines are becoming increasingly intricate and demanding, necessitating prolonged periods of study and validation before they yield the esteemed Nobel recognition. The chart above vividly depicts this widening time gap, underscoring the complexity inherent in contemporary scientific research. All that, clearly underline that the early days of Nobel Awards were much more friendly to aspiring researchers for winning the prestigious prize.
