Abstract
A retrospective review-textbook account of the history of superconductivity was synthesized and compared with citation and co-citation data for two examples of historical periods which lacked major cognitive events. It was asked whether the formal cognitive organization (the cited documents and the co-cited relationships) remained stable in such periods A thorough cognitive reorganization was observed in both examples in spite of a lack of major events.
