The fruits of following my curiosity yesterday - a little Sunday Study on citations.

https://tlohde.com/blog/2025/06/becoming-irrelevant/

Motivated by @sundogplanetsProf. Sam Lawler 's post on citing old papers: https://mastodon.social/@sundogplanets/114677909402696290

I haven't checked, because I wanted to do it anyway, but I'm sure someone out there has done this more thoroughly and properly.

A ridgeline plot showing 15 distributions of referenced paper published dates, one every 5 years from 1950-2020. The ridges steadily move to the right as publication date increases. Each distribution is abruptly cut at its rightmost edge, and has a long tail to the left. Over time the distribution becomes less skewed, and flatter (but still skewed)
