Abstract

Simultaneous inventions and Sleeping papers are two interesting phenomena in scientific discovery and knowledge development processes, however they were not yet researched as a single occurrence. To close this gap, we performed a bibliometric study in which we analysed if simultaneous discoveries can also be subjected to delayed recognition. The analysis was performed on four already identified nursing Sleeping Papers and resulted in one Sleeping simultaneous invention. Sleeping simultaneous inventions or partially sleeping inventions may represent a valuable source for improved understanding about knowledge development processes and are worth candidates for future research.
