\section{Impactful Changes}
On Monday, ScienceInsider posted a piece on a \href{http://news.sciencemag.org/scientific-community/2014/10/uprising-less-prestigious-journals-publishing-greater-share-high-impact?utm_campaign=email-news-latest}{massive meta-analysis} of the Google Scholar archives comparing the top-ten "elite" journals to "the rest" in each of several broadly defined academic categories.
For papers published from 1995 to 2013 (inclusive), there was an astounding 64\% average increase of top-1000 cited papers coming out of non-elite journals (here, "elite" designates the top-ten most-cited journals for a given category; "non-elite" the rest). Lest you worry these represent the \textit{only} cited articles in non-elite journals: the total share of citations going to non-elite articles rose from 27\% to 47\% over the same period.
