Abstract

Using a case study, we argue that the disruption indices do not capture epistemic disruption in focal papers as implied by most. The case contains disruption index calculations for three Nobel Prize papers representing a multiple discovery (‘click-chemistry’). We end the paper by elaborating why the disruption index is incapable of identifying epistemically disruptive papers in science.
