Master Data: Year, Country and Field-wise Nobel Prize Winners

The Nobel Prizes are six separate annual prizes that, according to Alfred Nobel's will of 1895, are awarded to "those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to mankind." Prizes are awarded in the fields of medicine/physiology, literature, physics, chemistry, peace, and economics. The dataset contains the list of winners across the categories of medicine/physiology, literature, physics, chemistry, peace, and economics, their gender, nationality, prize amount received, and affiliations since the awards were first introduced in 1901.
