DescriptionDecline of disruptive science and technology (based on the CD index).png
English: "This figure shows the decline in CD5 over time, separately for WoS papers (A) and USPTO patents (B). For papers, lines correspond to WoS research areas; from 1945-2010 the magnitude of decline ranges from 91.9% (Social Science) to 100% (Physical Science). For patents, lines correspond to NBER technology categories; from 1980-2010
the magnitude of decline ranges from 93.5% (Computers and Communications) to 96.4% (Drugs and Medical). As we elaborate in the Methods, this pattern of decline is robust to adjustment for confounding from changes in publication, citation, and authorship practices over time"
