Why 'sleeping beauty' papers suddenly wake up in science
Original: What are ‘sleeping beauties’ in the world of knowledge?
A science feature explores so-called 'sleeping beauties' in research: papers that go largely uncited for years or even decades before suddenly attracting attention and becoming influential. The discussion highlights how scientific ideas can lie dormant until new technology, questions or discoveries make them relevant, raising questions about how research value is measured and funded.
Why now: Renewed interest in how overlooked research becomes influential years after publication.
