The research agenda on global academic elites (e.g., those awarded the Nobel Prize) has overlooked academic awards and elites from developing countries and the public symbolic recognition of scientific elites by research awards. In this study, we examine the bibliometric features of individual researcher profiles of those participants who received a special mention in Colombia's most prestigious prize in the sciences: the Alejandro Ángel Escobar Prize (AAEP). First, we chart the citation per article trend of Colombia's most prolific researchers before and after receiving the special mention and the AAEP. We then compare the special mention group with those awarded the AAEP, using a composite citation indicator of six scientific impact and productivity indices to estimate (1) bulk impact (number of citations and index) and (2) authorship order adjusted impact (Schreiber index; total citations for articles of which the scientist is the single author; total citations for articles of which the scientist is the single or first author; and total citations for articles of which the scientist is the single, first, or last author). Results show that there is no overall in citation per article after receiving the special mention or the AAEP. Such recognition comes after an academically productive career marked by multiple citations per article peaks. There is no clear-cut division between the composite citation indicator of those awarded a special mention and those awarded the AAEP. Findings place the profile of local authors in an adjusted and inclusive framework that takes full cognisance of the scientific elites in developing countries.
关于全球学术精英（如诺贝尔奖获得者）的研究议程忽视了来自发展中国家的学术奖项和精英，以及研究奖项对科学精英的公众象征性认可。在本研究中，我们考察了在哥伦比亚最负盛名的科学奖项——亚历杭德罗·安赫尔·埃斯科瓦尔奖（AAEP）中获得特别提及的参与者个人研究概况的文献计量特征。首先，我们绘制了哥伦比亚最多产的研究人员在获得特别提及和AAEP之前和之后每篇文章的被引趋势。然后，我们将特别提及组与获得AAEP的人员进行比较，使用六个科学影响和生产力指数的综合被引指标来估计：（1）总体影响（被引次数和指数），以及（2）作者顺序调整后的影响（施赖伯指数；科学家为唯一作者的文章的总被引次数；科学家为唯一或第一作者的文章的总被引次数；以及科学家为唯一、第一或最后作者的文章的总被引次数）。结果表明，在获得特别提及或AAEP之后，每篇文章的被引并没有整体变化。这种认可出现在以每篇文章多次被引峰值为标志的学术高产职业生涯之后。获得特别提及者和获得AAEP者的综合被引指标之间没有明显划分。研究结果将本土作者的概况置于一个经过调整且包容的框架中，该框架充分认识到了发展中国家的科学精英。
