How old is too old? No matter the age, the science matters.
“I have met young scholars who are not familiar with earlier literature and they think that older works are not as good as newer ones. That is simply not true. Many old scientific papers were very well-written, applied the same scientific rigour, and their processes were just as valid as today’s experiments. They can be very valuable to any researcher.”
