Large-scale analysis of delayed recognition using sleeping beauty and the prince

Delayed recognition in which innovative discoveries are re-evaluated after a long period has significant implications for scientific progress. The quantitative method to detect delayed recognition is described as the pair of Sleeping Beauty (SB) and its Prince (PR), where SB refers to citation bursts and its PR triggers SB’s awakeness calculated based on their citation history. This research provides the methods to extract valid and large SB–PR pairs from a comprehensive Scopus dataset and analyses how PR discovers SB. We prove that the proposed method can extract long-sleep and large-scale SB and its PR best covers the previous multi-disciplinary pairs, which enables to observe delayed recognition. Besides, we show that the high-impact SB–PR pairs extracted by the proposed method are more likely to be located in the same field. This indicates that a hidden SB that your research can awaken may exist closer than you think. On the other hand, although SB–PR pairs are fat-tailed in Beauty Coefficient and more likely to integrate separate fields compared to ordinary citations, it is not possible to predict which citation leads to awake SB using the rarity of citation. There is no easy way to limit the areas where SB–PR pairs occur or detect it early, suggesting that researchers and administrators need to focus on a variety of areas. This research provides comprehensive knowledge about the development of scientific findings that will be evaluated over time.

“…However, how to identify the rediscovering paper from the citation networks of the SB remains controversial (Song 2018). To discover the PRs that awake SBs, the citation network of an SB, with co-citations and spontaneous citations to the SB being considered, Braun (Braun, Glänzel, & Schubert, 2010) proposed that candidates for being a PR meet the following three criteria:…”

“…A PR is indispensable for the awakening of an SB, because it is the fundamental piece that leads the SB to attract much more attention (Wambu;Ho 2016). There are various definitions of the rediscovering paper based on the citation network of an SB (Song 2018). However, finding a PR is a common difficulty among studies and it is not always easy to decide which paper might be considered as the PR (Li 2014).…”

Sleeping Beauties and their Princes in Solid Waste Research

A “sleeping beauty” (SB) is a paper that goes unnoticed for a long time, and then, almost suddenly, is awakened by a “prince” (PR), attracting from there on a lot of attention in terms of citations. Although there are some studies on the SB and PR phenomena in science, little research on the awakening mechanisms between them has been conducted. Based on a comprehensive dataset with more than 10000 papers published in solid waste research from 1956 to 2010, we compared three typical methods of identifying SBs, and the parameter-free criterion worked better than the average-based and quartile-based criterion in some aspects. Besides, through a case study of the top 10 in SBs, we applied three criteria to discover the candidate PRs with high citation, high co-citation, and publication time close to the awakening time. Moreover, we discussed the mechanisms involved in the SBs and PRs, which were divided into three types: the synergistic effect, leading effect, and hysteresis effect. This work develops and validates a bibliometric framework for identifying the SBs and PRs in solid waste research, to figure out the awakening mechanisms, and promote potentially valuable research in other fields.

“…Due to the heterogeneous citation behaviour of departments or research fields, the maturation of citations up to their distribution peak takes place according to different subject-specific time patterns (see, e.g., Abramo et al 2011;Lehmann et al 2006;Glänzel and Moed 2002). Since nobody knows the existence and the time of occurrence of high citation numbers of sleeping beauties, it is difficult to define the length of time until the citation matures (see, e.g., El Aichouchi and Gorry 2018; Song et al 2018;van Raan and Winnink 2018;Teixeira et al 2017). Based on this we formulate our second detailed research question: (R2) Is there a citation period for which the long-term impact of citations can be determined and after which a longer period of analysis of the citation rate does not provide any additional informative value?…”

To date, there has not been any definitive statement for bibliometric analyses from the scientific community as to how long to make the period for analysis in order to guarantee the maximum possible validity of citation analyses. Up to now, it has been particularly unclear as to whether different disciplines and citation indicators have any effect on what period for analysis to select. This is why this study aims to provide answers to these issues. Therefore, publications in the fields of business studies, biology, and medicine from 2007 to 2009 are surveyed. The citations from ten separate consecutive citation periods from 2009 up to 2018 are generated for these publications from Web of Science and selected citation indicators are calculated for them. The results show that the fundamental validity of citation indicators increases with time. However, if the goal of the analyses is to establish a ranking order, then even short citation periods are informative. Our results are stable in terms of the disciplines, although differences do occur in the citation indicators under consideration.
