The evolution of highly-cited decisions is heterogeneous. In order to illustrate the many different shapes of citation curves, we plot the trajectories for all decisions with more than 30 citations. The x-axis is the month after publication divided by the total number of months after publication so far (end of 2016). The y-axis shows the number of citations of the decision at a given month divided by the total number of citations so far. Each line corresponds to a decision. The individual decisions are color-coded from most cited to least cited black >violet>orange (color); black >grey (gray scale)
