Figure 5
A scatter plot representing the relationship between the number of citations and the years of publications. The horizontal axis represents the years ranging from 1998 to 2024, and the vertical axis represents the number of citations. The data points are represented by orange circles of varying sizes, indicating the number of citations. The plot shows several clusters of data points, with a notable concentration of points around the years 2022 to 2024. There is a visible trend where more recent publications tend to have more citations. Some outliers are present, such as a single large circle in the year 2024, indicating a publication with a significantly higher number of citations compared to others. The plot also includes a shaded area labeled MORE CITATIONS (AGE-ADJUSTED), highlighting a specific region of the graph.Age-adjusted momentum analysis. Source: Authors' own work
