Before revision:  Disruption  captures how research comes to eclipse  the prior work on which it builds , becoming recognized as a new scientific direction. We demonstrate that : 1) novel papers disrupt existing theories and expand the scientific frontier; 2) novel papers are more likely to become "sleeping beauties" and accumulate citation impact over the long run ;

Novel papers do not do so immediately, but often become "sleeping beauties" and accumulate citation impact over the long run ;
