Sure dude, here's the link to the UN Resolution about which researchers deserve attention and which others do not, signed by all countries around the world [1].
*sigh*
It's pretty obvious, if you publish something at Harvard, MIT, et. al. you even get a dedicated PR team to make your research stand out.
If you publish that on your own, or on some small research university in Namibia, no one will notice.
I might be lying, though, 'cause there's no "proof".
