While reviewing his development as a scientist, in 1967, Hans Krebs traced his scientific geneology to the von Baeyer 'family'. Almost every other member of this scientific family became a Nobel laureate. Krebs was of the opinion that there was no nepotism in the selection of the Nobel awards. This paper presents evidence, based on the recently released census of Nobel nominees and nominators for the chemistry prize between 1901 and 1937, that the von Baeyer 'family' of scientists had in fact practised a sort of 'nomination-nepotism'.
1967年，汉斯·克雷布斯在回顾自己作为科学家的成长历程时，将自己的科学谱系追溯到了冯·拜尔“家族”。这个科学家族的几乎每一位其他成员都获得了诺贝尔奖。克雷布斯认为，诺贝尔奖的评选不存在任人唯亲的情况。本文基于最近公布的1901年至1937年诺贝尔化学奖提名者和提名委员会成员的普查数据，提供了证据，表明冯·拜尔科学家“家族”实际上实行了一种“提名裙带关系”。
