    "abstract": "We study the statistics of citations from all Physical Review journals for\nthe 110-year period 1893 until 2003. In addition to characterizing the citation\ndistribution and identifying publications with the highest citation impact, we\ninvestigate how citations evolve with time. There is a positive correlation\nbetween the number of citations to a paper and the average age of citations.\nCitations from a publication have an exponentially decaying age distribution;\nthat is, old papers tend to not get cited. In contrast, the citations to a\npublication are consistent with a power-law age distribution, with an exponent\nclose to -1 over a time range of 2 -- 20 years. We also identify a number of\nstrongly-correlated citation bursts and other dramatic features in the time\nhistory of citations to individual publications.",
