What is Reviving the Past: the Growth of Citations to Old Documents about?

In this Digest we review a recent study released by the Google Scholar team on the apparently increasing fraction of citations to old articles from studies published in the last 24 years (1990-2013).

Lastly, we discuss the possible causes of this phenomenon.
