Abstract In qualified papers represented by Nobel Prize-winning key publications, the “Swan Group” pattern with its “Associated-Sleeping-Beauty” phenomenon were discovered. Taking the Nobel Prizes in Physics and Economics as the data reference system, the research revealed that the “Swan Group” pattern can be applied to both Physics and Economics, accounting for 39.56% and 28.81% respectively. The “Swan Group” is more universal than “Black-White Swan” model, which is only applicable to natural sciences in Nobel Prize. The type distribution of “Swan Group” is consistent in Physics and Economics. Moreover, “Type 2” occupies the vast majority. Simultaneously, the phenomenon of “Associated-Sleeping-Beauty” is found in “Swan Group,” accounting for 4.00% and 6.78% in Physics and Economics, respectively, indicating that there is a higher proportion of “Associated-Sleeping-Beauty” in qualified papers.
