Fast-growing scientific publications present challenges to the scientificcommunity. In this paper, we describe their implications to researchers. Asreferences form explicit foundations for researchers to conduct a study, weinvestigate the evolution in reference patterns based on 60.8 million paperspublished from 1960 to 2015. The results demonstrate that recent papers containmore references than older ones, especially the well-cited papers compared withother papers. Well-cited papers receive 10 or more citations within 5 years ofpublication. Their references cover a longer period from classic research tovery recent studies. Authors of well-cited papers are also farsighted todiscover the reference papers with good potential to receive high citationnumbers in near future. We also discover that the number of accumulativepublications has a negative impact on next-5-year citation count for mostfields except Chemistry, Materials science, Environmental science, Biology, andEngineering. Our findings suggest that researchers are expected to devote moreeffort to producing impactful research. Based on all these findings, westrongly advise against judging researchers simply based on the number of theirpublications. On the other hand, authors and reviewers should ensure thatpublished papers contain adequate contributions.
