Measuring Impact/Importance

Metrics to consider

Citation count

How other papers cite it (as conceptual framing, metaphors, background work, etc.)

Can you see it being used today?

How it fit in the larger landscape of that era?

Public sci (e.g., Wired, Scientific American) article related to it? (beyond sci community)

Any comments from professors we talk to?

Modern critiques/reviews of historical papers

(Eric’s comment) We can also use the 1hr meeting times to talk about more modern reviews of papers we’ve read (like “As we may think”)
