He also noted that the concentration of attention on eminent individuals can lead to an increase in their self-assurance, pushing them to perform research in important but risky problem areas. He gave as an example the disproportionate visibility given to articles from acknowledged authors, at the expense of equally valid or superior articles written by unknown authors. Merton furthermore argued that in the scientific community the Matthew effect reaches beyond simple reputation to influence the wider communication system, playing a part in social selection processes and resulting in a concentration of resources and talent. This was later formulated by Stephen Stigler as Stigler's law of eponymy – "No scientific discovery is named after its original discoverer" – with Stigler explicitly naming Merton as the true discoverer, making his "law" an example of itself. For example, a prize will almost always be awarded to the most senior researcher involved in a project, even if all the work was done by a graduate student. Merton to describe how, among other things, eminent scientists will often get more credit than a comparatively unknown researcher, even if their work is similar it also means that credit will usually be given to researchers who are already famous.

This has the net effect of it being increasingly difficult for low ranked individuals to increase their totals, as they have fewer resources to risk over time and increasingly easy for high rank individuals to preserve a large total, as they have a large amount to risk. The Matthew effect may largely be explained by Preferential attachment whereby individuals probabilistically accrue a total reward (eg., popularity, friends, wealth) in proportion to their existing degree. Merton credited his collaborator and wife, sociologist Harriet Zuckerman, as co-author of the concept of the Matthew effect.

He believed he discovered that the inequality that existed in the social sciences also existed in other institutions. Storer, of Columbia University, led a new wave of research. In the beginning, Matthew effects were primarily focused on the inequality in the way scientists were recognized for their work. The concept is applicable to matters of fame or status, but may also be applied literally to cumulative advantage of economic capital.
