The study is aims to provide the single author analysis evaluating the scientific contributions of Dubochet in chemistry, who is a recipient of the Nobel Prize in the field of Chemistry in 2017. He has published 97 publications with 5672 citations during his scientific career. Most of the publications have resulted in collaboration which accounts for 86. Biochemistry is one of his most favoured domain in which he has published 48 publications; most active collaborators are Stasiak, A with22 publications, Adrian, M13, Bednar, J11, Furrer, P10 publications. Journal articles are the most common channel of communication, where he published 65 publications of 97. His research picks top speed in the year 2009, where he has published nine publications, his H-index accounts for 43. Finally paper concluded that Dubochet J contribution in the field of “Cryo-electron microscopy” high-resolution structure determination of biomolecules in solution. The study is compiled to prove the Dubochet J as a source of information for upcoming researchers, fellow scientists in chemistry and Library and Information centres.
