Interesting. Many a times the new ones are nothing but what has been said already! Old is Gold and that way old matters, if not always at least at times. It helps one to have a sound background information, of course imbibes inspiration to the roots of problem/topic/theme of piece of research/scientific investigation in hand!
I do not understand it either. Please be more precise and rephrase your question.
Kind regards

Do you mean published papers in the field of geology between 1960 and 1970 ? Please clarify!
People do not understand what the question is, because they are simply part of the problem.
In the last few decades (I would say about four to five decades), we have become more interested in referencing articles from the last five years to appear modern and current. However, not only in geology, but in science in general, it is going in circles and in many cases.
I was fortunate to attend classes with Professor Hunter Rouse (1906— 1996), who in turn was a student of Ludwig Prandtl (1875—1953), so I was fortunate to have knowledge of the origin of modern fluid mechanics (1904) .
Now I am retired, but I was careful to train students who are now Professors, who respect the past.
In another branch that was not of my origin, climatology, I read articles in a publication in Portuguese that already in the first decades of the twentieth century, made connections about the climate that only in the last 20 years have numerical modelers "discovered" the same connections that have already had been discovered for more than 70 years.
Dear Steve Bradfield,
The geology papers in Hungaryan: Bulletin of the Hungarian Geological Society,
since 1849.
Best regards, Mária.
If the article is interesting and rich in information, including a history of scientific development of concepts in the respective terms, it should be read
