Abstract
After a short introduction to her life and work, we construct Rosalind Franklin’s citation environment in the sense of Howard White. This environment consists of four groups of authors related to Franklin: her co-authors, those cited by Franklin, those co-cited with Franklin, and those citing Franklin. We further found two of her articles that can be considered as suffering from delayed recognition. The article ends with a complete bibliography of Franklin. Although she never received the Nobel Prize, she most certainly was “of Nobel Class.”
Keywords:
- double helix,
- crystallography,
- citation environment,
- h-indices,
- delayed recognition
Résumé
Après une brève introduction à sa vie et à son œuvre, nous reconstruisons l’environnement de citation de Rosalind Franklin au sens de Howard White. Cet environnement se compose de quatre groupes d’auteurs liés à Franklin : ses coauteurs, ceux cités par Franklin, ceux co-cités avec Franklin et ceux citant Franklin. De plus, nous avons repéré deux de ses articles pouvant être considérés comme victimes de reconnaissance différée. L’article se termine par une bibliographie complète de Franklin. Bien qu’elle n’ait jamais reçu le prix Nobel, elle était très certainement « de calibre Nobel ».
