Our scrutiny reveals an intriguing phenomenon: papers characterized by a higher CD index, often considered transformative, paradoxically exhibit a diminished propensity to influence technological and societal domains. This observation suggests a latent bias against the CD index, prompting a deeper inquiry into its implications. To unravel this trend, we introduce the concept of \u201cdisruptive citation,\u201d a nuanced metric gauging the absolute disruptive impact of papers. Notably, papers drawing higher disruptive citations exhibit a significantly higher probability to influence both technological and societal spheres. Upon examining the heterogeneity across years and fields, we identify a bias against the CD index predominantly in the last two decades and within STEM fields. However, the positive effects of disruptive impact remain consistent across all years and fields. Our findings remain robust even when employing alternative measures of disruptive impact and controlling for total citations. By shedding light on these dynamics, our study seeks to enrich discussions regarding the recognition and role of disruptive scientific endeavors in shaping our world.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/asi.24947","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,2]],"date-time":"2024-08-02T04:39:40Z","timestamp":1722573580000},"page":"563-579","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Are disruptive papers more likely to impact technology and society?"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"76","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1276-0483","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Alex J.","family":"Yang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Management Nanjing University  Nanjing China"},{"name":"National Experiment Base for Intelligent Evaluation and Governance Fudan University  Shanghai China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiaohui","family":"Yan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Management Nanjing University  Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Haotian","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Management Nanjing University  Nanjing China"},{"name":"Jiangsu Academy of Agricultural Sciences  Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hanlin","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Management Nanjing University  Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4285-9636","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jia","family":"Kong","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Management Nanjing University  Nanjing China"},{"name":"School of Information Guizhou University of Finance and Economics  Guiyang China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6910-3935","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sanhong","family":"Deng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Information Management Nanjing University  Nanjing China"},{"name":"Key Laboratory of Data Engineering and Knowledge Services in Provincial Universities Nanjing University  Nanjing China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aam9527"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/restud\/rdy034"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.aav2484"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","unstructured":"Journal of Product Innovation Management Disruptive Technologies: Catching the Wave"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","volume-title":"Disruptive technologies: Catching the wave","author":"Bower J.
